Ancient Paths in a Modern World

"Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." 

Confessions

  • Like Potatoes ~ Reflection

    Typically I’m either Mary or Martha… you know what I mean I’m Jason, but typically I’m either sitting at Jesus feet intently or serving Jesus intently. There’s very few in between modes for me. Today I was sitting at the feet of the disciples, listening. I heard some crazy things. Things that blew my mind.… Read more

  • “Your daily word goes out like a hand on a wet lump of clay, shaping and molding. I submit and wait patiently so that I might become of use. ” ~ Read more

  • For years pride had me pressing the pedal to the metal in the proverbial car that is my calling. I now realize that steering and the others functions of driving are just as important. I know how to use the gas pedal which is good. Now to steer… without letting off the gas! Read more

  • Ego Trippin’

    The ego has a way of self defining what we are capable of, who we are, and what we are willing to venture out and try. But, when God says “Go speak to this person or that person.” He does not consult our egos first, seeing if we are willing or able to accomplish such… Read more

  • Bed-Ridden w/ Jesus

    I’ve been bed-ridden sick the last couple of days. Can’t have lights on because my eyes hurt; can’t get comfortable, hot and sweaty or cold and shivering. You get the picture. What has troubled me most about the last few days is that my prayer and devotional time has been dramatically reduced. You have to… Read more

  • Dividing the Bread

    As I prepare for the day, I sit at His feet and am trying to divide the daily bread. Three proverbial hungry kids today, have already distributed one third to the devotion, searching for the meeting’s share, then there’s me. I hope I get some too, I’m hungry. Read more
