Seek ye the Lord.

"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near" (Isaiah 55:6 KJV). We must seek the Lord while we have time. We must cry out to Him with all of our hearts and let Him know that we love Him and are expecting Him soon. Sometimes we get caught up with the ways of this world, or maybe the flesh arises turning us away from the Lord. It might happen in just a moment, but in that moment we can get trapped by our flesh. Then before we know it, we feel so far from God. In this chapter of Isaiah, there is a promise to all of humanity from our God. He invites all to come to the waters, to come and be filled that our souls may live. The Lord mentions that He is near. We should be seeking Him. We should forsake all of our wicked ways and all of our thoughtless ways, and allow His mercy to fall upon us. He is calling those who sin to repentance and to the house of God. He's calling men and women back to repentance. He's calling the children of this world to repentance. (v:7) "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:7 KJV). Our God is so patient. He is waiting for all to come to repentance. He has no doubt that many will come back to Him. He has no doubt that the backslider will come back to Him. He's full of love and mercy. How powerful that is. He's made us a promise, a promise that He will have mercy upon us all, for He will abundantly pardon our ways. Seek Him while He may be found. God bless you. Amen.
