Are you anchored to almighty God?

“Return to Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” Zechariah 1:3

God spoke these words to me this morning “O Israel why have you forsaken Me. Return to your first love!” God is referring to those believers who have heard the Word of God and accepted Jesus by faith but have fallen away from Him.

What happens to most believers is they allow the things of the world to distract them from God. They become consumed with work, financial needs, family and relationships, and God gets squeezed out of the picture.

The reality of God is the concerns of the world should draw you closer to God and cause you to make Him your priority to help you with all your needs.

The love of God is what draws people to Jesus. You come to understand the sacrifice He made for you and the depth of His love and concern to give you an abundant life.

Your expression of love for God has nothing to do with feelings and emotions. It is a sincere desire to be obedient to the voice of God and to do His will. You allow God to crucify your natural self and you learn how to live for Him.

Your love for God is about developing an intimate relationship with Him and becoming yoked to God through His Spirit.

You find God by placing all of your life in His hands and trusting Him for your every need. This is about a heart commitment and has nothing to do with religion or works.

You build your life on God through praise, prayer, and allowing His Word to dwell richly in you.

Make God the center of your life and reach out to Him by faith in the powerful name of Jesus!
