We Need to Return to the Lord

Scripture Jeremiah 3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say:
‘Return, backsliding Israel,’ says the LORD;
‘I will not cause My anger to fall on you.
For I am merciful,’ says the LORD;
‘I will not remain angry forever.

Observation: I know this is for Israel but it’s fitting for America today. We are backslidden and we’ve allowed our churches to be closed and with all the hate why isn’t the love of God being proclaimed. Christians have become the silent majority in this country and because we are, evil gains a foothold. We are called to be a light but we have become so conformed to this world no one can see it. We are not doing what we were called to do.

Application: Fear is a strong force and I believe that is what happening. We are afraid of people instead of God. It is good to fear God because He has commanded us to live our life a specific way and to fulfill a purpose, he gave us before we were even born. We should be more afraid of not accomplishing God’s purpose in our life above anything else.

Prayer Dear Lord help us, give us wisdom and strength to be a voice for You. May we not be content to just wait it out until You come to gather Your children to go home, but to help bring others home to You.
