| “Seek the Lord while he may be found…” |
| —Isaiah 55:6 |
As we rise to begin another new day, let us heed these words from Isaiah 55:6-7:
“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their waysand the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.”
In the matter of seeking, we must always remember that God chose those of us who belong to Him before the foundation of the earth. He has made Himself available to us. He sent His Holy Spirit to point us toward Him. And, God always stands ready to be found.
In His great love for us, God provided His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the one and perfect sacrifice for our sins. God made provision for us to become reconciled with Him through the blood of His Son, Jesus. God gave us His Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us along the pathway of life. Our Savior now sits at the Father’s right hand, making intercession for us.
If we respond to God’s calling and answer by seeking this One who loves us with His unfailing, undying love, He will open His arms and welcome us into His Presence. There we will find true freedom and a great outpouring of His joy, peace, and everlasting love.
