Return to the Lord
What does it mean to walk with the Lord? His presence is all around us all the time. If we are his followers he lives in our hearts. When we join together to praise him and study his word, he is there. Perhaps the better question is to ask do we sense the presence of the Lord? Do we want it and seek it? At any given time, we are either walking toward God, with God or away from God. Many of us need to realize just how far we have drifted from God and we need to pray for and pursue a major course correction. Our wandering hearts hurt us and cause God pain- and he calls us to return to him. He even makes a way for us to come back to him, to walk with him every day, even when we're doing everything to stay far away from him!
