Direction

I asked for some today during my prayer time and immediately this first verse came to mind quickly followed by the next two as I went to look up and read the first one.

Jeremiah 6:16
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!’

which brought to mind this one....

Matthew 7:14
14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

which led to and ended with this one

Matthew 11:28
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

As Jesus seems to be so brilliant at - He's left me with a couple of more questions to try to answer? Isn't it funny how you come to conclusions?

- What am I missing, will I recognize the way? When will that rest come?
- Do I know it, but don't admit it for fear of the difficulty ahead?
-Am I truly trusting enough?

As I was typing this...I got super spiritual and remembered this pretty amazing "Hymn" by Bishop Clapton dealing with a similar situation..... Ha!
