Following the Lord requires a daily walk.
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. But they said, We will not walk therein. Jeremiah 6:16
The Children of Israel were commanded to stand in the ways of God asking for the old paths that would lead to rest. But they wouldn’t have any of it. They said, “We will not walk therein.” The Lord said, “I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet.” They said, “We will not harken.” God gave them the judgment for their disobedience, He said, “I will bring evil upon this people” What a sad day that was when God tried His best to get them to listen but yet they turned and went their own way.
One of the things a Pastor hates to hear is when one of his congregation members has chosen to leave the church entering a life of sin. It doesn’t happen overnight though. Long before the church member leaves the church physically they left spiritually. It was a progress leading the member be over taken in the sin. It was a daily choice to live for self instead of the Saviour!
Will you follow the Lord—Daily? Will you walk in the old paths? Will you find rest for your soul?
