Turn To Me

Scripture:

Isaiah 45:22  "Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other".

Observation:

God is speaking through Isaiah concerning the people of God and of the world creating images of their own hands and then praying to them.  He tells them how much nonsense that is, then tells them to "turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other".  Turning to Him is repentance.  God wants all to repent and realize there is no other way except through Him.

Application:

God's will is for everyone to repent and be saved.  He desires relationship with all the earth.  He wants relationship with His creation and has gone to great extremes to have that.  Our job as believers is now to give Him the desire of His heart.  We must pray and declare to all the world the good news of Jesus Christ.  We need to catch our Father's heart for the ends of the earth to turn to Him.  We are carriers of His good news.

Prayer:

Father, give me more of a heart to make sure that every person you have created has heard about you and has been given the opportunity to turn and repent of their sins.  Empower my church with a vision of reaching every lost person in our region and in all the earth,  Raise up evangelists who will carry the good news to the ends of the earth.

Yours,
Jeff
