“Turn, then, and live.” This should sound very familiar. Once again God is pleading with His people (that’s all of us) to turn toward Him and embrace His ways that lead to abundant living. In this text it is framed in the Old Testament concept of sin and punishment. Nevertheless, God repeats over and over that He takes no pleasure in anyone dying or being cast away from His presence. Get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit, God urges. Live in My light instead of your darkness.
When Jesus comes on the scene, He takes every opportunity to invite us to live our lives in ways that bring us peace and fulfillment. Stop pursuing false and worldly values that lead to dead ends and can never satisfy. God loves us; He knows what will ultimately give us LIFE! Turn to Him and really Live!
Prayer
Precious Lord: Help us to turn to you with an open heart and listening ear. Keep urging us to accept what you freely give-the living water from your well that never runs dry. Amen.
