Seek Ye The Lord

Oh, the folly of unbelief! People refuse to get right with God, they refuse to give up their favorite sins –they need to “seek the Lord” (55:6) and “forsake” their wicked ways (55:7). They need to call upon Him “while He is near” (55:6) — tomorrow may be too late! Some people cannot understand 55:6 – they do not understand how a lost sinner, blinded by the devil, can seek the Lord. Beloved, it is only by the grace of God. Jesus said: “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me: and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37).
“Let the wicked forsake his way…” (Isa. 55:7). A young man said to DL Moody, “I am going to turn over a new leaf.” Moody replied, “Young man, you have got to turn yourself over. I have turned over many a new leaf, and it soon got as dirty as the old ones. New leaves won't do; it's yourself you've got to turn over” Unsaved friend: “Seek ye the LORD while He may be found” (55:6).
