Seek Him While He Is Near

Scripture:

Isaiah 55:6
Seek the LORD while you can find Him.
Call on Him while He is near.
Let the people turn from their wicked deeds.
Let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong!
Let them turn to the LORD that He may have mercy on them.
Yes, turn to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. (NLT)

Observation:

With all the uncertainties we face in this life and with all the untruths that are thrown at us, there is One Truth that stands apart from all others; that the LORD will not always be near and available for us (Romans 13:12), for once our earthly bodies die, so does our ability to find a Savior who will snatch us out of the grips of Satan and put us in the everlasting, loving arms of God. Because the dominion of the Devil is such a driving force in our world, it becomes extremely hard for people to discern what is true and what is not (Ephesians 6:12). And since we all have within us a sinful nature that is prone to side with what is wrong, we start thinking that wrong is right. The Devil is the best at what he does, and that is… deceiving God’s people.

Application:

Do you know for certain that you will be alive tomorrow? Have you made a conscience effort to find the whole Truth? If not, there is no better time than now, for tomorrow may never come your way. The Lord our God wants no one to suffer His final wrath upon a world gone bad, so He gives us the time to make a choice, but the time my friends, will one day and without notice, run out ( Luke 12:40) and with it... the opportunity of an eternal lifetime of happiness!

Prayer:

Thank you dear Lord, for opening my eyes to Your Truth, and I ask You in the name of Jesus to give me both the power and the courage to stand strong in the faith You have so graciously given me, so that I, too, can spread the Good News of the salvation You offer all people of this fallen world, which groans for Your return.
