Daily Bible Verse For Temptation - Bible Time - Bible Verses

Jeremiah 6:16

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, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

Key Thought

Temptation is a choice between the ancient path (God's will for us) and a new path provided by Satan. So often Satan's path is presented to us as a shortcut to happiness, prosperity, and accomplishment. However, this path leads us away from God and the blessings he longs to give us.

Let's not be like the people of God in Jeremiah's day who refused God's way and said, "We will not walk in it." The outcome of their choice was their own destruction.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me see through the facades of Satan's temptations and see their bitter end result. Please give me courage to walk on your path of joy, peace and rest. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
