Return

"One Year Bible" Old Testament History Passage
Judges 21:1-Ruth 1:22

"Then she (Naomi) arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited His people by giving them bread." Ruth 1:6 (NKJV)

Naomi found herself in a place FAR FROM GOD. Her husband Elimelech had taken his family out of the land of promise. He had led them into a land called Moab - a place described in Scripture as a place of judgment.

There are times when we may find ourselves FAR FROM GOD. Perhaps it is because of outright rebellion. Perhaps it is because the pressures of "famine" drove us to unwise, desperate measures. Perhaps it is because we have simply gone slack in our devotion as slid away from God.

It is never too late to RETURN to the place of your promises from God. There is a territory reserved for you. Though you may be far from it, God invites you to RETURN. It will require commitment. It will bring you new friends. But most of all, it will restore your provisions. Naomi heard that there was a place where BREAD was on the table. Jesus invites us to that table today. RETURN!
