Pathways

"This is what the Lord says, 'Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it'."   -Jeremiah 6:16

On this mountain there are many paths. Some made of grass and others made of dirt. It would be easy to get lost or turned around if you don't know the way. Today we were challenged with the task of going house to house, taking blood pressures, and sharing the Word of God. 

How could we be effective when we do not know the way?
How could we know where the houses were without someone showing us? 

We needed a navigator. Someone who knew the way. We found this in our dear friend who lives next door. This sweet lady sacrifices her days to hike up and down these paths with us, showing us the way. Because of her we have been able to care for many people. Something we would never have accomplished on our own. 

This got me thinking of a verse in Romans that says, "How then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" (Romans 10:14-15). Just as we needed someone to show us the way, these people do too. I pray we can have the same servants heart as our dear friend had while hiking those paths today when we go out with the help of the Holy Spirit to show the way to Jesus.
