As I shared yesterday, this has been a busy week.  It has been mentally and physically draining and tiring.  As I sat in the recliner trying to catch up on some rest a thought came to me.

That thought was, “ye shall find rest for your souls.”  Then I looked it up in the Word of God.  The only place it came up when searching my computer Bible is in Jeremiah 6:16.  Take a look at Jeremiah 6:16, “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.”

Did you notice anything in this verse?  I noticed that we are exhorted to stand in the ways, see, ask for the old paths and walk in them.  This is an act that is tiring.  It is not easy to serve the LORD.  He never promised us a bed of ease.  What the LORD did promise us was that He would be right there with us.

So, if we are going to live a life that pleases God we must stand up, speak up, follow along and walk on.

So, how are you doing?
