1 | Is God going somewhere? | Is 55:6 | steph | 28206 | ||
I'm not sure of the context of this passage. I'm not clear on '...while he may be found;', and '...while he is near.'?? The inference is that God is not going to be? Or is it talking about seeking Him when our heart is longing for Him? | ||||||

Hebrews 4:6-8 "Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, He again fixes a certain day, Today, saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS.For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that." See also Hebrews 3:7, Psalm 95:7,8; No one seeks God or longs for Him on their own. (Remember we are like sheep, gone astray, going our own way - not God's Way!) But we have within us, a God consciousness (see Romans 1), an ability to recognize and respond to God. God's desire is to restore our love relationship with Him so He initiates this as the Holy Spirit woos or draws us to Himself. This drawing is the opportunity we have to "seek the Lord, while He may be found." God also affords us a window of invitation to respond to Him, to "call upon Him while He is near." Today is the day of Salvation! We see that there is a TIME called TODAY. This time that God has given us to receive Christ is unique for each individual. God is not going anywhere, but we are. We are either moving toward or away from Him. This is why Scripture warns us to "harden not our hearts!" Hebrews 3:12-14 "See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first." Hope this helps! |
