Show us the ancient paths
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to walk
In the ways of Jesus
We want to enter Your rest
Show us the ancient paths
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to follow
The footsteps of Jesus
We want to enter Your rest
This song really spoke to me..
I want to walk in His ways..
I want to follow His footsteps..
I want to enter His rest..
Read this from somewhere...
"God's purposes for our lives were established even before our conception. In Jeremiah 1:5, the prophet was told that God had drawn up his blue-prints long ago and set him aside for this predetermined purpose. This is the meaning of the words in 6:16 where it is written, "Thus says the Lord, 'Stand by the way and see and ask for the ANCIENT PATHS. Where the good way is, and you will find rest for your soul.'"
This is not some esoteric spiritual technique out of the past, that if we discover it, all our problems will be solved. The ancient paths are those which God intended for each of us since ancient times. The path is ancient in its inception, but current as every breath we take today. This is why Yeshua quotes part of that passage in Matthew 11:28-30. He proclaims that in coming to Him and taking on His yoke, we would find rest for our souls. Too often we carry burdens and walk down paths that are not ours. If He truly is our master, we can ask and trust that He will show us those ancient paths. "
Many a times, we find ourselves asking the question -- Is this God's will????
It kinda dawned to me that itz not so much about asking God to give me a clear answer as I seek His will. Itz not so much about asking God -- "Option A or B; Left or rigth; yada yada....".
I think as we seek His will, we humble ourselves and commit oursleves to Him. I think itz that kind of willingness of letting God to use you in accordance to His will that matters most to Him. The Obedience. The desire to please Him.
As we grow in our relationship with our Heavenly Father, we are able to see a bigger picture of His will for us, although itz not the whole picture yet. =P
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight..
