This is what the Lord says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is..."
Jeremiah 6:16 NIV
Ask.
Sometimes that's the hardest thing!
Ask where the good way is - who has wisdom in this area, who knows the good path, who's been this way before?
Finding good people in our lives who can share their wisdom can be hard but worth the effort.
They may well be there and yet we simply don't ask.
Why not?
Pride gets in the way, culture gets in the way, fear of rejection, of looking foolish...yet it's an important part of making good decisions...of finding a way in difficult circumstances...
Look to the horizon
Seek God's wisdom
Ask good people

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
