Isaiah 55:6-11

 

 

Seek the LORD while He may be found; 

   call on Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way 

   and the evil man his thoughts. 

Let him turn to the LORD,
   and He will have mercy on him, 

and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, 
   

   neither are your ways My ways,” 
          
       declares the LORD. 

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, 

   so are My ways higher than your ways 

   and My thoughts than your thoughts. 

As the rain and the snow 

   come down from heaven, 

and do not return to it 

   without watering the earth 

and making it bud and flourish, 

   so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is My Word that goes out from My mouth: 

   It will not return to Me empty, 

but will accomplish what I desire 

   and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

 

   (Isaiah 55:6-11)
