What are you seeking?

Reading: Isaiah 55-57 and Acts 7

Scripture: Isaiah 55:6-7, Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Thoughts: I always need this reminder. We need to seek God while we still can. Romans 1:28 reminds us that we will be turned over to our sins if we do not repent and turn from them. I feel like if we have gotten to the point of being turned over to our own desires it will be very hard to turn around and start seeking God. We need to seek him when we can and with all we have so that we are not being led astray. The evil one does not try to get you to turn your back on God. However, just as a magnet near a compass can lead us away from true north, once we are a ways down the road, we start to see how far off course we are. Seek God daily that we can reset ourselves to the true north the (Lord my) Banner, that rally point.  

Prayer: Lord God, you are the banner, the rallying point that we need to reach. I thank you that you are the banner that I can fix my gaze on. That place to strive to. I thank you for the blessings and provisions that you have for us. I ask that you help me to be wise and steward them well. You are worthy of all praise and honor.
