Faithful ancestors

The Second Sunday in Lent

This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.
But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ ~ Jeremiah 6:16 (NLT)

Follow the example of the ones who inherit the promises through faith and patience. ~ Hebrews 6:12b CEB)

KEY IDEA:
We would benefit if we followed the example of our faithful ancestors -- those who patiently walked on the Lord's pathway.
PRAYER:
Lord, I'm grateful for the example of all the faithful followers of Jesus who have gone before us. Sometimes I drift around on the pathway and will occasionally stray from it. Forgive me, and encourage me by showing me examples of faith. I want to become a faithful example, too. Amen.
