Stand at the Crossroads

Thus says the Lord: Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, "We will not walk in it."

- Jeremiah 6:16

Why are we so reluctant to walk where the good way lies? There, the way of the good, is where rest can be found. But we go other ways--ways of turmoil and distress and terror.
