Return to the Lord - Joel 2:12-17

The heading in my bible reads "Return to the Lord". The crazy cycle that Israel was always wrapped up in is nuts. What is funny about reading how wishy washy these people were in their relationship with God is it kind of mirrors my own walk. The first five years was like my personal redemption from Egypt and my wilderness wandering. Then ten or so years of half hearted worship. I worshiped the Jesus I made, not the Jesus from the Father. 

Now the last six years have been amazing. There always seems to be some kind of drama or a struggle in my life. Yet, my Jesus is there and faithfully walking with me because I returned to Him as he asked in obedience.
