Jeremiah 31: 21, “Set up for yourselves roadmarks, Place for
yourself guideposts; Direct your mind to the highway, The way by which you
went. Return, O virgin of Israel, Return to these your cities.”
Return,
Roads go in both directions. There is always a way back—a
way to return.
The landscape may have changed. The trip may now be more
difficult, yet there are still markers to guide us. Turning points that give
concrete arrows to destination. An internal map is also added as hope.
And each time we pause to rest we gain a new perspective.
Some of our past completely forgotten, some just as remembered, but now we can
see through a different lens. His roadmarks—His destination—His eternal promise—forgiveness.
“A highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy
Way; the unclean shall not travel on it, but it shall be for God’s people; no
traveler, not even fools shall go astray.” Isaiah 35:8
A road that leads to ongoing life even if the road is a path
of boulders.
Lord, please show us the roadmarks we are to walk. Give us
Your vision we pray to see through our dimness and confusion. You have gifted
us with extended life, Lord. Please show us how to live into it without further
waste.
Your thoughts,
