Turn To The
LORD
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.
“For
my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the
LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my
ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the
rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without
watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for
the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that
goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish
what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in
joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song
before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of
the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of
briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD’s renown, for an
everlasting sign, that will endure forever.”
Isaiah 55:6-13
What
is in the Old Testament for us? What is in the New Testament for us?
We
find what God wants to accomplish in our lives. He shows us that we ordinary
folks, with extraordinary gifts that He gives us to use. Our task is to be a
strong witness to the glory of God.
Reading
the Bible turns our minds into storehouses through which the Spirit can work.
That’s a great reason to all the books of the Bible.
To understand the Word of God, rely on the Spirit of God.
