Isaiah 55:6-7 (KJV)
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
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.
Observation:
When you face the difficult days of your life where do you turn for help? Do you have a source that you completely trust?
There is one to whom we can look and find hope and help. It is the Lord who is our maker, deliverer, and our keeper. God is a promise-keeping God.
2 Chronicles 15:2 (HCSB)
2 So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Asa and all Judah and Benjamin, hear me. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you.
James 4:8 (HCSB)
8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!
Life in this world is hard. However, God is good, and the desire of His heart is to give you life.
When you come to the end of yourself, you will find the arms of the Son of God open wide to receive you. Why not look to the Lord today, and find in Him life that is everlasting.
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace."
Prayer:
Father, I am so grateful for Your wonderful love, and amazing grace. Father, I am so thankful that You are the God of hope and change; that nothing is too difficult for You.
Romans 15:13 (HCSB)
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe ⌊in Him⌋ so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Father, we conclude our prayer today with the prayer of David; a man with a heart like Yours with the plea that You would make our hearts like David's heart. In the might name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Psalm 32:6 (HCSB)
6 Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to You at a time that You may be found. When great floodwaters come, they will not reach him.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
