“Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.” – Isaiah 55:6 (KJV)
Let’s talk about urgency.
We live in a world where distractions are everywhere. Life gets busy, schedules get packed, and before we know it, days, weeks, even years slip by. How often do we push God to the side, telling ourselves, “I’ll get serious about my faith later” or “I’ll start seeking God when I have more time”?
But Isaiah 55:6 gives us a powerful wake-up call: The time to seek God is NOW.
Why Is This Verse So Important?
This verse is a reminder that God is extending an invitation—but it’s not open forever. There will come a time when the opportunity to seek Him will no longer be available. We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but we do know that God is calling us today.
Think about it:
- Have you ever ignored someone’s call, thinking you’d call back later, only to realize you missed your chance?
- Have you ever postponed something important, only to regret it later?
When it comes to God, this is not something you want to delay. The longer we put Him off, the easier it becomes to keep doing so. One day turns into one week. One week turns into one year. And before we know it, we’ve spent a lifetime running from the One who gives life.
What Does It Mean to Seek the Lord?
Seeking God isn’t just about attending church or saying a quick prayer when things go wrong. It’s about making Him a priority in your life. Here are a few ways to truly seek Him:
✅ Spend time in His Word – The Bible isn’t just an old book; it’s God’s way of speaking directly to you. Read it, meditate on it, and let it transform your heart.
✅ Talk to Him daily – Prayer isn’t about fancy words; it’s about real, honest conversations with God. He wants to hear from you.
✅ Surround yourself with faith-filled people – Who you spend time with influences your spiritual walk. Seek godly friendships that encourage you to grow in faith.
✅ Act on His Word – It’s not enough to hear God’s truth; we must apply it to our lives.
The Danger of Delaying
Many people think, “I’ll get right with God when I’m older” or “I’ll start seeking Him when life slows down.” But here’s the truth:
🚨 We are not promised tomorrow.
🚨 The more we ignore God’s call, the harder our hearts become.
🚨 Life without God leads to unnecessary struggles, confusion, and emptiness.
Imagine a person stranded in the middle of the ocean. A rescue boat comes, but instead of getting on, they say, “I’ll wait for another boat later.” It sounds foolish, right? That’s exactly what we do when we reject God’s invitation, assuming we’ll have another chance.
God Is Near – But Will You Answer?
Right now, in this very moment, God is near. He is calling. He is waiting. But He won’t force Himself into your life—you have to make the choice to seek Him.
No matter where you’ve been, no matter what you’ve done, God’s grace is available to you today. He is ready to forgive, restore, and give you a life filled with purpose and peace. But the time to seek Him is not later. It’s now.
A Challenge for You Today
Take just five minutes right now to seek the Lord. Pray. Read His Word. Open your heart to Him. Because when it comes to God, the most dangerous word you can say is “tomorrow.”
The time is now. Will you answer His call?
