It Is Time to Return to the LORD!
“For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.” Isaiah 30:15 (KJV)
Taking advantage of the time left to return to the Lord guarantees eternal blessings. Life is full of surprises. Lots of events happen – either good or evil – some of which go in our favor and others that do not. When everything is going in our favor, it is easy to praise God and thank Him and proclaim His goodness (Job 1:3–5). However, in times of crises, trials, and challenges it is common to complain, murmur, despair, and worry. Some even depart from the Christian faith in the quest for finding solutions to the challenges. Others remain in the Christian faith but engage in acts of corruption to alleviate the challenges or problems (2 Timothy 4:10). Dear beloved, if you find yourself in either of these two groups being described, then meditate on the opening scripture again and return to the Lord. He says if you return He will save you and give you rest. Beloved, be humble and return in quietness and confidence, and He will provide you the strength to stand as a child of God to enjoy eternal blessings. Remember that your joining another faith such as Islam, Buddhism, etc. or practicing acts of corruption may relieve you now from your challenges, but you will lose your eternal rewards (Mark 8:36–37). You will also send your own soul to hell if you do not repent and return to God. Remember that Jesus Christ came to save the lost, so see yourself as lost and return to Him, for He is still willing to receive you, forgive you, sanctify you, and bless you (Luke 19:10). Hallelujah! God bless you!
Prayer Point: My loving and gracious Father, I thank You for remembering me. I missed the way and I’m willing to come back to You. Please forgive me and receive me again onto Yourself. Please give me more grace to trust You, especially in times of difficulties and trials, in order to become mature and available to You to use to inspire many onto godliness in Jesus’ name. Amen!
