Ask where the good way is

Jeremiah 6:16-30
Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient pathsask 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.
I appointed watchmen over you and said, Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’. But you said, ‘We will not listen.’
Hear, you earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.
I have made you a tester of metals  and my people the ore, that you may observe and test their ways.
They are all hardened rebelsgoing about to slander. They are bronze and ironthey all act corruptly.
They are called rejected silverbecause the Lord has rejected them.
Why?
God has made Jeremiah and other prophets as watchman and warned them, but they did not repent and did not listen so the disaster came to them.
Because they have not listened to God's word and have rejected God's law so God rejected them.
Rejected silver is useless to describe God does not care them, their heart are dead like iron and bronze.
Where is my heart and eyes focus on? Is the way of the Lord or the way of this world? 
We may ask the Lord where the good way is?
How?
Dear Lord, show me the way and please bless my heart pure and my eyes focus on you. You are my way and my life.
