Seek the Lord Earnestly

Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near. Let the sinful abandon their ways and their thoughts. Let them return to the Lord so that he may have mercy upon them; and to our God, for he is rich in forgiveness. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.

Isaiah 55:6-8
