Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;

Isaiah 55:6

This morning we sang this line from a song during our worship time –

I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered.

I’ve been annoying Patrina this afternoon by humming or singing the line at different times, but as I thought about it through the day, I wondered just how diligently we actually seek Him with all our heart. As least I question myself on a number of needs.

In the verse above, Isaiah challenges his readers to seek and then call upon the LORD while he is near and then he has a specific message for those who have turned away from the LORD-

Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55:7

Each one of us ought to be able to relate to this passage, don’t you think?
