Isaiah 55:6-7 is a beautiful word of the Lord to us all; a word of encouragement to lay everything down and seek Him. I find it so much like the Lord to give a word at different times in a person's life. Yesterday, He pointed this section of scripture out to me to show how God is always there to hear us; what we need to do is to stop trying to take everything on our shoulders.
Today my pastor was speaking on the time Jesus joined Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in Bethany. Jesus lovingly shared with Martha that she was missing out by not spending time at His feet. She was busying herself with too much, things that interfere with a relationship with the Father. I fully agree, that communication with Jesus is the center of our lives. It doesn't matter how many times we come to God, He is always there to hear us and to give deliverance and direction, Matthew 7:7-8 and John 11:22.
In Cody Carnes' song "Run to the Father," it beautifully expresses how essential the Maker is in our lives. Before we were even here, He was waiting for us. He is gracious, like a perfect father, to have considered our every need before we asked. We can draw on the encouragement from past experiences with God. We can be assured that His nature is constant. He hasn't turned His children away yet; so, let us not quit knocking on the door. We will find He has been there to answer all the time.
To finalize everything, I wanted to encourage all of us to stop carrying burdens alone. It is not what we were meant to do. Let us approach His throne with confidence, knowing He has held out His scepter, Hebrews 4:16 and in Esther.
