Turn To Me...

Turn To Me...

""Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other." (Isa 45:22 NAS95)

God will save all who call on His name. Turn to Me and be saved God tells Israel. Many problems in our life are from us turning away from God and seeking other things to make our life better. God alone is who brings true joy, peace and love. God has promised his people a land filled with milk and honey and free from trouble. God told them they would be the head and not the tail (Deut. 28:13).""The LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath, if you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully, (Deut 28:13 NAS95)."


They only needed to listen to the commandments of the Lord their God. They were to observe them carefully. God simply asked them to follow his instructions for their life. God created them to inhabit the earth (see Isa. 45:18) and he was willing to show them how to live in the land he has promised them. God's promise is true and he will hold to his word. 


The issue is for us to hold on to his word as the Israelites were to hold on to his word. God's word calls us to obedience and to serve a Holy God. He is Holy and desires for his people to be Holy as he is Holy. To be holy is to be in his presence and serving him with a sincere heart. We can only serve the Lord with pure hearts. A pure heart is a heart turned to God with repentance and humility.


Turn now and face the Lord and let him lift you up from your broken part of your life. He is able to make you whole and you are only whole in him. Come who are troubled in life and find your rest in Him. In the Lord you can find your rest. Turn to the Lord and be saved. There is no other who can save you but the Lord."[F]or "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED"" (Rom 10:13 NAS95).
