"Be strong and of a good courage , fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord your God He it is that does go with you; He will not fail you, nor forsake you."
It is sometimes the case for Children to wander from their parents, so it is with some of God's children.
They leave their Father's side in search of whatever distracts them.
While these children may have legitimate reasons for leaving their parents' side (some children can be provoked by their parents), in the case of Our God, He has never failed his own from ancient times plus, we have precious promises to stand upon.
Everything we need is right here in Christ. We only need to ask and receive and wait until we receive.
God looks forward to bringing back all lost sheep of his. His eyes have never left us, nor will ever. Why should any wander from him?
On the other hand, Satan seeks to mislead anyone who gives him a chance.
Our first stop as God's children, who are Born-again, in difficulties must be the Lord. Let us be disciplined on this. He is still there for us.
Is it not true that Christ weeps over his wandering fold? How he wants to gather all his own.
Will he find them all when he returns? Will some have left his side?
Will you?
May God give us grace. Shalom.
