Verse 12 was a song we used to sing in sunday school. Reading it brought good memories, and reading it now brings out some of the real meaning of why we were singing it...
Find the Lord while he may be found , now is the time... soon the doors of life will be closed when man can work no more. God is extending his hand to every one that will seek him and turn from their wicked ways. He has every thing you need and with out cost. You can't put a price on the Love of Jesus and all that he has for you. The Love of Jesus and the Peace of God endureth forever.
How amazing!!!!God's love for mankind is;passed our comprehension.He calls us to Himself to receive:mercy,forgiveness,peace,joy,grace,healing,love and so much more for FREE(we don't have to work to ACHIEVE these)...Ours is just to RECEIVE,since JESUS paid it ALL for us.THERE IS NO GOD LIKE JEHOVAH.
God blesses His people with His words they are our life line in times of trouble. He speak His greatness toward us in His word and let us know it will not fail!!!!
We are born sinners. There is, and are, profound differences between the Creator and the created. This passage is so much like the invitation of the Lord Jesus when he said,"Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I shall give you rest." Thus, "Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.", means that if you have any interest in being saved, call upon him, for he is abundant in mercy and thru forgiveness of sins, purchased by the blood of Christ on the cross, will save you for eternity.
But what does it mean? I am a Sunday School teacher of the 5th and 6th graders, How would you explain Isaiah 55:8 to them?
To me this verse is saying that while God is a higher more powerful being he is watching over us, allowing us the freedom of choices but He is there to pick us up when we choose the wrong way.
Isaiah 55 is indeed a very powerful chapter.true in saying seek the LORD while he may be found.I just met an 70 year old man on face book he does not believe in GOD he said his family brough him up that way. and now he has alzhemers.my heart sanked inside of me. Only The LORD can help him before the disease takes over, I am a alzhemers caregiver I know. Iam a christan I attend church on sunday,s and now I,am doing EXodus 3.5 I take off my shoes while at church for truly it is holy ground.
well i think thats one of one of the most powerful verses in the word of God. because it tell you that there is a chance to find Jesus, and i know for some it may seem impossible ,but it aint . just trust him ,seek him, and you will see for yourself.
