Return to Me and I will return to you

“Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.” - Zechariah 1v3

Zechariah was a contemporary of Haggai. The both prophesied to a nation that had wandered away from their close fellowship with God. They had become preoccupied with their own busy-ness and left God out of their everyday lives.

We often use the term “backsliding” to describe this action. We cannot lose God – He is not going to forsake us. However, out sweet close communion and fellowship with Him is affected. We miss the blessings of seeing Him involved in our everyday lives when we turn away from that fellowship.

God doesn’t want us to do without Him. He wants what if best for us so He waits for us to forsake our sin and turn back to Him. If we do so He promises that He will be there for us and that we can expect Him to be there.

If we walk out of fellowship, why not return to Him and let Him return to us.
