Jeremiah 6:21

So listen to this. Here’s GOD’s verdict on your way of life: ‘Watch out! I’m putting roadblocks and barriers on the road you’re taking. They’ll send you sprawling, parents and children, neighbors and friends— and that will be the end of the lot of you.’
— The Message
Therefore, this is what the LORD says: ‘I will put obstacles in my people’s path. Fathers and sons will both fall over them. Neighbors and friends will die together.’
— New Living Translation

When we encounter one roadblock after another it is wise to take note. God could be testing us. He could also be warning us as he did Judah here. He does not capriciously pounce upon us in anger. He deals with us as he did this ancient nation, warning first and calling us from death to life.

Lord I can so easily step off your path. It scares me. Please never let go of me. May I ever heed your warnings, choosing and living life with you.
