The old paths are still good for us today.

Jer 6:16

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

While we all enjoy the new things of today, the latest of technology, labor saving devices, instant messaging, emails around the world in just moments and the list goes on and on.

We must ask ourselves the question, have these things helped us when it comes to living for God or do they serve as a distraction?

No! I'm not saying that these things are sin, but they do have a way of pulling at us from every angle, distorting what we need to keep our focus on, someone said it like this, "Keeping the main thing the main thing".

Even the Lord reminds us, to ask for the old paths, where is the good way. I can appreciate technology, but I must say, I sure enjoy the good ole days of less distractions, fewer things to captivate or divert our focus or attention.

While we enjoy these these modern marvels, we must use caution as Christians that they do not serve as traps or things that lure us away from the paths that lead us to righteousness.

God will have a Holy People full of godly intentions and demonstration of his spirit, they will not allow themselves to be consumed by things that lure.

Why is it that the trophy fisherman in some cases wants the lure that has the sheen and shine to it? because he knows it will catch the eye of the big fish and it will take the bait! Wham! the trap has done it's duty the trophy is captured.

Never stray too far from the old paths, because even in the midst of this present world and all that it has to offer, the old paths have served us well.

Praying with you in mind,

Evangelist: Frank Mc Gee ~
