Isaiah 55:6
1. MEETING God
A) Longing for Him

3. MINDING God
A) How We Must Respond to God
B) What We Will Receive from God
Just In 1966, David Mahoney was the head of Canada Dry. Stock was selling at a low price of $11 a share. With about two and a half million shares outstanding, he had an opportunity to buy the entire company for $30 million. Financing was available, but Mahoney never made up his mind and let the opportunity pass. Twenty years later, his investment would have increased to more than $700 million, a 200 percent profit.
I think about an old story of a farmer who said lightning struck an old shed and thus saved him the trouble of tearing it down. A few days later rain washed off his car and saved him that chore too. When asked what he was doing now, he replied, ''Waiting for an earthquake to shake the potatoes out of the ground.''
William Mason states, ''Each day we wait to obey God leaves one more day to repent of and one less day to repent in.''
I believe if Isaiah had given a title to this chapter division he would have entitled it, don't' wait too late. It is a word for every scene, stage and season of life. If you are a person who doesn't know God; a person who is away from God; or, a person who has a desire to do great things for God, Isaiah says, 'don't wait too late.'

This word about meeting God reminds us that we can ''seek'' God and ''find'' God. In other words, we have a God who can be met. When the Bible speaks of ''finding'' God, it does n ...
