Where The Good Way Is

A picture from a nearby view looks just like scenes from times past.

The theme of this blog is the old paths. Following the old paths means to place a high value on the teachings of the Lord. No matter how modern we get, and how many conveniences we have, and how smart a generation is, they still have to be reminded to go back to the old paths, where the good walk is, when it comes to living.

More scenery from a road shows the beauty of God's handiwork in the sky.

Here is a quick and easy project for the home. It is a verse that will always be true, throughout the generations. It is worth meditating on daily.

Click on the picture, above, and then highlight it or save it. It can then be printed to put in a frame.

Remove the backing and padding of an 8inch by 10 inch frame for this project. There is no need to remove the staples; just bend them back with a butter knife, and when you finish the project, take the handle of the knife and press them down again. Wood frames are available at the dollar stores. This is an old one that will be re-painted.

Paint with craft paints of any kind. This one is painted with a plastic type of paint that shines. Before it dries, sparkle or any kind of texture can be added.

To understand the concept of this verse, you have to go back to the time of Jeremiah. The old paths to the Israelites were, of course, the commands to live by; the warnings, admonitions to be wise, understanding and to seek knowledge of the scripture.  The term old paths in the context of this verse, means the trodden path of God's faithful people, with regard to their souls. Those who cannot understand the depth of this verse will erroneously conclude that it means you have to wear sandals and walk through the desert for 40 years and only eat manna.  It is a spiritual lesson, that implores God's people to stay with His divine teachings in choices and in thoughts and in deeds and obedience.

Framed verses like this speak to the heart of everyone in the home. For a boy's room, tinker with your own fonts and find an appropriate background and frame.  This one sits on my desk.'
