Turn me back

1Sam.12:12-15, 21, Ex. 20:5

It is not all that you see working around you that will work for you. It does not matter if it is working for others around you. The children of Israel never had a king but live as the children of the Almighty King. They began to turn and look around them and lost it when they shifted focus. When the children of Israel saw that Nahash King of the Ammonites came against them, they asked Samuel for a king to reign over them. Samuel was not pleased because it was a move of rejecting God who had always carried them through. Samuel warned them not to turn aside because they would go after empty things which could not profit them or deliver them. The God that you serve is a jealous God. You cannot substitute Him for any god. Not every thing that you see around you will work for you. As a child of God, take time to turn unto Him. Ask God to help turn you back in every area that you have turned away from Him. Ask for His hand to pull you back so you will not be empty or live an unprofitable life.
