Ancient Paths

You ever stare at a sheet of paper and have no idea what to even start to write?
You ever turn on your Ipod wanting to just listen to music but you don't even know what you feel like listening too?
You ever get in your car and just drive with no place to go to?
Or sit with God for a minute because you need Him and you know it, but no words can even come out?
You ever been at a crossroad and have not known which way to turn?
Being in that moment, with no direction, with no way, no momentum... for a second we are lost.
For a moment your will is not yours anymore. For a moment we are thrown out of whack. We are forced to stop and ask for direction.
If we never loose our way then there is no reason to turn to God for His? But God created the way, didn't He? He is the way.
We have it all figured out, we know exactly where we are going until we hit a crossroad. Then we are humbled once again. Reality hits us. We need Him.
Truth is I don't know, truth is I don't know what the next step is, truth is... I need direction. And we all need it. We need Him. Funny how we still have the moments where we think we don't. If we didn't need Him, we would have never been lost.

"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." -Jer. 6:16
