Let the wicked forsake his way and return

Isaiah 55:7 - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Before you came to know the Lord and experienced his grace; whatever life you were living which was against God's wishes, please do not think you can keep continuing to do so. If till date the Lord has not picked you up strongly on it do not think He is blind, today is your day of warning to stop and return back to Him. There may be a situation when you will make up your mind but may find that the door of grace and mercy is shut forever for you.

Our God is patient but not forgetful. He forgives but only those who repent. If you are weak and find it hard to turn back call on his Name, pray to Him, worship Him and draw strength from Him. He has never failed anyone from the start of creation and will not fail you too. He loves you and wants you back soon.


[ Prayer Starter ]

Father God, You love me and are awaiting me with hands open wide. Lord I am weak in my flesh, fill me with your Holy Spirit and lead me to break away from my flesh and to live in You according to your Word. I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.


[ Reference Scriptures ]

Isaiah 33:6-12
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others.
