Jeremiah 6:16 "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."
Today is the beginning of a new year 2011.
Crossovers are interesting. Who actually set that date and time in the first place when we wake up to a brand new day each day? God willing - we sleep and we wake up - still breathing each second. Our heart beats and our lungs inflate and deflate. Alive.
Beginning with this verse above.
My mediation thoughts for this 'brand new day' :
All the words are action verbs.
Stand - Look - Ask - Walk - Find
Passive ?
Stand . Pause . The Lord is around us all the time.
Is65:1: “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’
Active?
Yet. He wants us to seek him out?
Is 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Amos 5:4 "Seek me and live"
Kind of paradox.
Promise of those actions :-
Is65:10 "Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me"
Would we take time to stand, look, ask, walk and find what the Lord has prepared for us in 2011?
