The Lord calls us back from our backsliding: “Return, faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding” (Jeremiah 3:22).
The returning people say, “Yes, we will come to You, for You are the
Lord our God ... surely in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel” (Jeremiah 3:22-23).
As we return to the Lord, He gives us this calling: “Become blameless
and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved
generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold
out the Word of life” (Philippians 2:15-16).
To those who return to the Lord and seek to live as His holy people,
the Lord gives His promise of blessing - “The Lord remembers us and will
bless us ... He will bless those who fear the Lord - small and great
alike” (Psalm 115:12-13).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
