Christian Devotional – July 5, 2013
VERSE:
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. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.'”
TRUTH:
If we are seeking and looking for the path that God desires for our life, then He will lead us to that path. However, even then we must choose to walk down it. The Lord does not force us down that path, even after He has shown it to us. Yet, so many people seek after the Lord and then when faced with the path He has for them, they choose to go another way. Are we seeking for the path of obedience to God? Once God reveals it to us, because He will reveal it, are we committed to going down that path?
RESPONSE:
Father, I praise and exalt You. Thank You for promising to always show me the direction of Your path. Father, give me the courage to walk the path You have laid out before me. I pray You will lead me today in Your path of obedience for my life.

I loved your idea of a daily devotional using a book of the Bible – as in the devotional on John. I hope and pray that you continue this!! I have been truly blessed! God is good!

Thanks Dianne! I appreciate you taking the time to read the devotion and let me know that God has used it in your life. His word is so precious and we all can learn so much as we spend time in it. I really enjoy going through a book at a time as it keeps the continuity of the story. These are the things that God is showing me each day and I’m excited to share with others so we can all grow together!
