THE URGENCY OF SEEKING GOD
O Wow!!! I never saw this scripture like I have seen it today. My soul was blessed from the revelations that I received. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call on Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6 God’s call to salvation and His call for us to seek Him must be with a sense of urgency. We can’t miss out on the moment.
Sometimes He personally calls us to seek His face. It is for a reason!!! We don’t realize it but so many of us are constantly rejecting His call. How are we doing that? We are rejecting His call by moving at a slow pace. We are rejecting His call by not being diligent, half hearted, and uncommitted when it comes to seeking His face. I never saw it this way!!!! We must labor for His knowledge and to find out what His perfect will is for our life.
He said in verses 8 and 9 that His thoughts, His ways, and His plans are higher than ours. So when we are seeking Him we need to totally forfeit our own plans and seek His perfect will for our lives. This is why it is crucial that we seek Him!!!He said seek Him while He may be FOUND. Yes, while he may be found. In an acceptable time, I have heard you and in the day of salvation I have helped you. Isaiah 49:8.
Sometimes God wants us to seek Him more earnestly at certain times in our life. It's some things He desires to do for us and in us!!! He is already making His way towards us to meet Him. If we are moving slow in seeking Him He will bestow His grace and favor on another, because we rejected it.
He said I am NEAR!! He is close by, right in our reach, just waiting on us. He is inviting and calling us to come. He desires to show us things. He desires to reveal His heart to us. He wants to unfold His perfect will and plan for our life. He wants to bless us, and bestow His grace and favor upon us.
