It happens too often, so often you may have even seen it yourself. Someone gets offended, or a situation doesn’t work out like they think it should. Possibly life gets hard. Whatever it is, when it happens they decide that they can’t live for God anymore. They walk away from the one that died for them. I do feel for people that are going through these things. I know life can be hard, but walking away from God is not the answer.
We read in Jeremiah 2:11(ISV) Has a nation ever changed gods when they aren’t even gods? Here we see that people that served false gods did not walk away from their gods when things go wrong. Think about that. They stay serving something that can’t do anything for them. Yet, often folks get upset and want to walk away from God.
If you have walked away I beg you come back to God. If you have considered walking away I say be like the disciples in John chapter 6, when Jesus offered for them to leave. They responded “Lord, to whom would we go?” Let’s get a bulldog determination that we will never turn away from our God.
1 Corinthians 15:58 (ISV) Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, unmovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that the work that you do for the Lord isn’t wasted.
