The Old Path
by PamFord Davis Human nature is enticed by offers of something better, new, improved, or changed. Routines can quickly become ruts and we seek variety. If you have any doubt about the chronic condition of lack of contentment with limited choices, open your eyes to the construction of huge market chain stores! I remember a conversation with a small grocery store owner who explained he always tried to offer at least two choices when stocking milk and bread. We want a wide selection! Can we pick and choose foundations of faith? "Thus says the Lord: Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it (Jeremiah 6:16 NKJ)." Is it narrow minded to cry out for a return to "That Old Time Religion?" We can not improve on God's simple plan of salvation. He will make it exciting and satisfy thirsting souls; and He does not need to pay for celebrity endorsements!
