Jeremiah 31:9. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of water in a straight way, -

Hear this, ye mourners. God will supply your need with rivers of waters, and he will make you to walk in a straight way. Sometimes we are perplexed because the road seems to wind in and out like a labyrinth, but God can lead us in a straight way: "I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way," -

Jeremiah 31:9. Wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel and Ephraim is my firstborn.
