Praying and reading the Word everyday is not all there is when it comes to man's walk with God.

You can agree with me that there are very many people who do this daily, yet not close to God.

It's like morning devotion, something that has become like a ritual in many families. They don't skip morning prayers, every family member is forced to do it. Yet they're not close to God.

OVERCOMING THE FORCE OF BACKSLIDING (PART 2)

KEY TEXT:

ZECHARIAH 1:3 KJV: “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".

THE DECEITFULNESS OF SIN:
Sin is enticing and often appears harmless at first. But when we indulge in sin, it hardens our hearts, leading us further away from God. The Bible warns us of the deceitful nature of sin, which pulls us away from our devotion. "But exhort one another daily… lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." (HEBREWS 3:13)

CONSEQUENCES OF BACKSLIDING:
Backsliding has serious consequences, affecting both our relationship with God and our spiritual health. It can bring guilt, shame, and loss of peace. The Bible likens backsliding to a dog returning to its vomit, showing the destructive nature of falling back into sin. "As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly." (PROVERBS 26:11)

GOD''S CALL TO RETURN:
Despite our failures, God graciously calls us back to Him. He does not abandon His people even when they turn away. His love and mercy are always available, waiting for us to repent and return to His presence. "Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding." (JEREMIAH 3:22)

REFLECTION:
JEREMIAH 3:12 KJV: “Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.”

PRAYER:
O Lord my God, please deliver me from the force of backsliding and restore me back to my former place in you. Remove the reproach of backsliding from me, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

*_Don't you be afraid, for I am with you; don't be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness._*
Isaiah 41:10

*Prayer :*

Help me not to look forward to what may happen tomorrow;
as You, the same everlasting Father, who cares for me today will take care of me tomorrow and every day.

I ask either You will shield me from suffering, or You will give me unfailing strength to bear it. Help me be at peace, then. Teach me to put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations, and say continually:
 
“The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in Him and I am helped. He is not only with me but in me, and I in Him.”
In Jesus' name, I pray.
