Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV)
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Temptation is a choice between the old path (God's will for
us) and a new path provided by Satan. So often Satan's path is presented to us
as a shortcut to happiness, prosperity, and accomplishment. However, this path
leads us away from God and the blessings he longs to give us. Let's not be like
the people of God in Jeremiah's day who refused God's way and said, "We
will not walk in it." The outcome of their choice was their own
destruction.
Thought for today:
Can I recognize and resist temptation ?
