Which way do you want to walk? Your own way, or the good way?
Jeremiah 6:16 tells us that the good way is the old way. It says, "Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls."
The old way is that which God spoke forth at the beginning of time and God hasn't changed (Genesis 1 and 2). He doesn't have to adjust or improve on His ways, because they were perfect from the beginning. They are perfect for every generation, including this 21st century.
Some seem to think that the humanistic ways of our modern society are better than God's ideas, but they never work out in experience. We see the fruit of them with the epidemic breakdown of marriage and family life.
The Hebrew word for "old" is "olam" which means "from time immemorial, everlasting." God does not only want us to accept His "old" ways, but to ask for them. He wants us to seek them out and understand them more.
My daily prayer is that God will show me the paths He has planned for us to walk in as wives and mothers and to understand more and more revelation of what it means to walk in them. I am sure this is your prayer too.
Let's seek the "good" way.
