Return to the Ancient of Days

Do not be dismayed at the sound of my voice. I cry out, ‘Come, return to me”. You’ve been gone so long. How much longer will you wait to return? You’ve stayed away far too long. Return and be replenished. You’ve been thirsty for so long drinking the muddied waters of this world.

Come and be refreshed as you return to me. By still waters I will guide you. You will walk beside me, and you will know that I am your God. Come and be renewed; the old has passed. Be unyoked from the past you, the past worries, the past sorrows and come and experience the joy of the Lord in my presence.

Return to the ancient paths, to the Ancient of Days, and be awed by your Maker and God. Turn away from every other competitive voice calling out to you. Their words have no life. They are seeds of destruction, despair, and division. My words are life, joy and peace.

Come back to me and I will show you who I am, and you will be awed by my love, my power, and my provision for all my sons and daughters—those that call upon me with faith to satisfy every empty promise and every broken vow. I am the God who satisfies you with every good thing. Return to me.

“Return to me,” declares the LORD Almighty, “and I will return to you,” declares the LORD Almighty. — Zechariah 1:3 NIV

“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” — Acts 3:19 NIV

“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” — Jeremiah 6:16 NIV

No te intimides al oír mi voz. Clamo: «Ven, vuelve a mí». Has estado lejos por tanto tiempo. ¿Cuánto más esperarás para regresar? Te has mantenido alejado demasiado tiempo. Vuelve y sé saciado. Has tenido sed durante mucho tiempo, bebiendo de las aguas turbias de este mundo.

Ven y recobra fuerzas al volver a mí. Te guiaré junto a aguas tranquilas. Caminarás a mi lado y sabrás que yo soy tu Dios. Ven y sé renovado; lo viejo ha pasado. Libérate del yugo de tu pasado, de las preocupaciones y tristezas de antaño, y ven a experimentar el gozo del Señor en mi presencia.

Vuelve a las sendas antiguas, al Anciano de Días, y maravíllate ante tu Creador y Dios. Aparta tu atención de cualquier otra voz rival que te llame. Sus palabras carecen de vida; son semillas de destrucción, desesperación y división. Mis palabras son vida, gozo y paz.

Vuelve a mí y te mostraré quién soy; te maravillarás ante mi amor, mi poder y mi provisión para todos mis hijos e hijas: aquellos que me invocan con fe para ver satisfechas todas las promesas vacías y reparados todos los votos quebrantados. Soy el Dios que te sacia con todo bien. Vuelve a mí.

«Vuelvan a mí —dice el Señor Todopoderoso— y yo volveré a ustedes» —dice el Señor Todopoderoso. — Zacarías 1:3

«Por tanto, arrepiéntanse y vuélvanse a Dios, para que sus pecados sean borrados y vengan tiempos de refrigerio de parte del Señor». — Hechos 3:19

«Deténganse en los caminos y miren; pregunten por las sendas antiguas, pregunten dónde está el buen camino y sigan por él; así hallarán descanso para sus almas». — Jeremías 6:16
