Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He
is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and 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 (Isaiah 55:6-7).
The first word to start this verse off is "Seek". The word "seek" means to go in search off or to look for. This does not mean to sit around passively and wait for the Lord to move in my direction but I am spoken to by the word of God to "seek". There are so many tasks to do during a course of a day, month, week or
year and there are times even with the best intentions that to “seek” the Lord
becomes less and less.
We must ask the Lord to help us to not
get so wrapped up in our day to day task that we forget or omit to seek you
while you may be found. Open our eyes
that the possibilities to “seek” you are not only within the walls of church on
Sunday but outside the church Monday through Sunday. Thank you for the ability to seek you while
we are on our morning commute, lunch, work break, or any other time if we purpose
in our heart to do so. We know the
covenant you have made with us is everlasting and no one can take it away from
us but we can hinder the progress in our own life. Thank you for moving us beyond ourselves and
the day to day task this year in order to “seek” you more. In Jesus Name, I pray, Amen.
