This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.

But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Making smart choices isn’t hard.

In fact, the payoffs are often immediate, if not only for the conscience, but also the outcomes.

Nothing beats feeling smarter than a fifth grader and advancing your best interests as a result.

We’re presented crossroads every day, but rather than choosing what we know will bring about confidence, we engage in inner arguments that yearn to take us off course.

The struggle is real.

We learned at a very young age from Jiminy Cricket: “Always let your conscience be your guide. What’s a conscience? I’ll tell ya…A conscience is that still small voice people don’t listen to. And that’s the trouble with the world today…”

Consciences have consequences.

It matters to whom you listen.
