Jeremiah 6:16 NLT This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’

It’s been said that God’s ways are old-fashioned and for a different time. Things like the sanctity of marriage, disciplining children, no sex before marriage, and simply being a blessing are said to be for a different generation. Since so many people feel like God’s ways are not for them, they go by however they feel or whatever society says is acceptable. 

When people do whatever they feel, they’re deceived into thinking they’re living in freedom. Little do they know, they’re giving Satan access to their lives (Ephesians 4:22-27). Relationships are toxic, depression is high, children are killing each other, and there’s no discipline for their flesh. 

Meanwhile, the old way, God’s way, is still available. It’s not only available, but it promises rest for our souls (mind, will, imagination, emotions, and intellect). God’s way also makes us wise, joyful, and insightful (Psalm 19:7-11).

At the end of the day, like the scripture says, it’s a crossroad. It’s a decision we have to make. Will we follow our own path, which leads to chaos or choose the old way, which leads to life and peace?
