Isaiah 55:6

Sue Howel Isaiah 55:6

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call ye upon him while he may be near.

The prophet, Isaiah, is giving Israel hope and a promise of forgiveness if the people will confess their sins and turn from their wicked ways. As we go about our daily lives, we see sin all around us. I am sometimes disturbed when I see people doing things that are not honest and many time are unlawful. I know there is nothing I can do to change things, except to pray that God will change hearts and ways. I pray to remember that God is in control and I trust his understanding.

Isaiah 55: 7 says; "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

Prayer. Dear Lord, as we seek your forgiveness in our prayers of confession, make us ever mindful that you are with us in all we do. We need not carry our burdensome sins alone. We praise you and thank you for always being there beside us on our life's journey. Amen.
