God's Way Is The Only Good Way: The World and Our Own Flesh Betray Us

 Jeremiah 6:16-21

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.
¹⁷  Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
¹⁸ Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

¹⁹  Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

²⁰  To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.

²¹  Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.  

Let us all take God's Word seriously, for He is in earnest to redeem our souls from sin and our self-centeredness. Without our choice to repent  of our sin and place our faith in God's Christ, we paddle our own canoe to eternal suffering. Eternal never ends. Please choose God's Way.
