"LET HIM RETURN!"

Isaiah 55:6-9                      (ESV)
"6 "Seek the LORD while HE may be found; call upon HIM while HE is near;
7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; "LET HIM RETURN" to the LORD, that HE may have compassion on him, and to our GOD, for HE will abundantly pardon.
8 For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, declares the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your  ways and MY thoughts than your thoughts."



The Words of the HOLY BIBLE are the most comforting known to mankind.  Maybe that is because GOD ALONE is the only place where true peace and solace can be found?  "This world" will attempt to substitute all kinds of solutions to the current problems, many different answers to what ails us, but nothing can provide a true relief like JESUS can.   Acts 4:12 states "And there is salvation in NO ONE ELSE, for there is NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN given among men by which we must be saved."  Why then do we continue seeking answers to problems where there are NO answers to be found?

Answers to the current problems facing mankind will not come from a Republican candidate, a Democratic candidate, a Libertarian candidate, or any other political party or leader.  The battle we must face isn't physical or natural, but is spiritual in every sense of the matter.  Ephesians 6:12 says "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."  In order for us to properly "battle" our adversary, we need to be able to recognize him when we see his character traits amongst us!

But we also need to IDENTIFY and RECOGNIZE just WHO we have fighting on our side!    It's not as if we are fighting a battle which we are ill equipped.  Romans 8:11 states "If the SPIRIT of HIM who raised JESUS from the dead dwells in you, HE who raised CHRIST JESUS from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through HIS SPIRIT WHO dwells in you"!  GOD, THE CREATOR of the Universe  lives in me through the sacrifice of JESUS CHRIST (John 17:23) and HE has already defeated the enemy.  We don't need to allow the enemy a stronghold where he should have none!  He is a defeated foe, yet our actions tend to do everything we can to keep him alive!

Isaiah 55:7 says "LET HIM RETURN" to the LORD, that HE may have compassion on him, and to our GOD, for HE will abundantly pardon". GOD will have compassion on we who come to HIM, so we don't need to look anywhere else for relief.  Seeking answers and solutions from any other source will prove to be an exercise in futility.  We don't need to search any further for a source for happiness and security.   JESUS is the ONLY ONE WHO can satisfy and HE is calling us to "LET HIM RETURN" to HIM!!
