RETURN FOR HIM TO TURN
Zechariah 1:3 Therefore tell the people: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ’Return to me,’ declares the LORD Almighty, ’and I will return to you,’ says the LORD Almighty.
Often we want to get people's attention from afar with our body language, especially in this social media era people use their platforms to settle scores with others. Approaching one another in person is the best way to resolve grievances.
When God's people stayed under bondage for seventy years, they had still not returned to God. He was waiting for their day of return. What does it mean to return to God? Zechariah 1:4 Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the LORD Almighty says: ’Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the LORD. Beloved, they are evil ways and evil practices. Evil ways are the paths you take that are contrary to ways God has designed in His word for us to take concerning situations and circumstances.
For instance, marriage must occur between a man and a woman. Any marriage apart from this is against God's way.
Evil ways are conceived and come to live by practice. Practical evil abounds in all society today. Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. Are you living like any of these? The prodigal son lived in these and messed up his life. But the good news is that he returned to his father. Beloved, you can't get God's attention by staying afar, move from the folly and return to God and He will turn to you.
Prayer: Father, I thank you that when I return, you will return to me and help. Now I return to help me, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
