ANGLICAN DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR 23 FEBRUARY 2022
TOPIC: IMPORTANCE OF SPIRITUAL INQUIRY
TEXT: Jeremiah 6:9-21
Anglican Daily Fountain 23rd February 2022 | STUDY
In today’s reading, God gave the people of Judah opportunity to …ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls (v.16). Anyone who is not used to enquiry will not be a critical scientist and will not be able to learn, discover or invent things. God likes enquiry and asking to know. When we make genuine enquiry about the past or to know why situations are the way they are, God will always come to our rescue. The problem is that like the people of Judah answered God, ‘.. We will not walk in it.
‘Many of us want to cut corners or find quick solutions that may bring us to a cross-road. Is this what you are doing? Beat a retreat now. We make gains when we ask questions, chief of which is that we know the right way to follow and avoid the mistakes of our predecessors. Enquiry about our state and self-examination of our Christian life are exercises to be carried out ona daily basis. Christians of today really need a serious retreat and enquiry about the old paths of Christianity (old time religion). Are things not being watered down? We need to listen to God to know how to do things right and to be agents of change.
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to ask for the old paths and to walk therein.
