"Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on 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."
Today is the day.
Maybe you had a New Year resolution. Maybe it didn't get very far. New Year resolutions are a nice thought, but a calendar change doesn't help with our deep human problem:
We are fundamentally resistant to change, especially when it comes to ourselves.
And yet, God's call remains: "Seek Me!" "Call on ME!" "Forsake wickedness; turn to righteousness!" "Receive mercy." Today is a new day for your restoration. That's the promise of Isaiah 55.
God does not act the way He should! Instead, He loves to forgive sinners. He loves to show mercy. He delights in restoring broken things!
Seek the LORD with urgency. Call on him because He is drawing near to you right now.
Today is a day for righteousness. For new beginnings. It is an invitation to mercy and pardon. Whatever is binding you today, God is offering you freedom. If something needs to change in your life, God is inviting you to take that first step today.
