Horsepower

On
a cold winter day in Michigan, a woman in labor was being rushed to the
hospital when the unthinkable happened. The ambulance slid off an icy
road into a ditch. A passing four-wheel drive truck stopped and tried
to haul the emergency vehicle out but couldn't get a grip.

That's
when help arrived. An Amish man driving a two-horse team stoppe to
offer help. He told the ambulance service that the horses' shoes had
been sharpened so they would bite into the ice. Once he hooked up the
horses to the ambulance, they walked it right out of the ditch.

By
today's standards, this young mother received help from a source of
strength that was old-fashioned and outmoded. But on that day, old ways
helped to ensure the safe arrival of new life into the world.

Most
of us wouldn't want to return to the old-fashioned ways. But more than
2,500 years ago, Jeremiah reminded us that there is nothing more
relevant than the truth so that they would find peace and rest for
their souls (Jer. 6:16). Today, we can still find rest and peace in
Jesus, our eternal source of truth (Matt. 11:28).---Mart De Haan

Upon Thy Word I rest, so strong, so sure;

So full of comfort blest, so sweet, so pure,

Thy Word that changest not, that faileth never!

My King, I rest upon Thy Word forever.---Havergal

THE OLD TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD IS EVER NEW.

In
the wake of all the new technogoly it's amazing to see it's the old
truths and principals that still stand. We still lean on the
everlasting arm who was there before time, when time began and will be
there when everything is said and done, we lean of the oldest and most
reliable source of power Jesus.

Read: Jeremiah 6:16-21

Ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.---Jeremiah 6:16
