"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near." Isaiah 55:6. There is responsibility involved in having a relationship with God. God offers Himself to humanity, but humanity must respond. God must be sought by us. We must call upon God. If we are not cautious, we may become so involved in other things that we do not make time for God. We can allow trivial things to interfere with our seeking God and our calling upon Him. We must make time in our schedule of life for God. If we wait to seek God, He may not be there when we decide to seek Him. If we hesitate to call upon Him, He may not be available unto us. The problem never lies with God, but with us. God wants a relationship with us, but He is not diminished without that relationship. God remains God whether we seek Him or we do not seek Him. The blessing of seeking God and calling upon Him benefits us. Our life is enriched because we have sought Him and called upon Him. We need God. Too many times, we wait until we feel that we cannot make it without God. A problem arises. A situation of desperation occurs. We feel guilt. But, God's spirit does not always strive with man. Let us not wait until God cannot be found. Let us not delay until God is no longer near. Let us seek Him today. Let us call upon Him now. Our life will be enriched.
