Isaiah 55  If you want to have a happy heart.. read this chapter!  What a joyful picture of Zion is presented here!  One day we will be marching into the Heavenly Zion,  with joy and peace.  "The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands."  What a day that will be!

Our Lord calls us to this beautiful city:
If we are thirsty... we just need to come and drink His water.
If we are hungry.. we can come and buy food.. with no money!

"Listen carefully to Me and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance.  Incline your ear and come to Me.  Listen, that you may live;"( v2-3)  " Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call on Him while He is near," ( v6)
Forsake wickedness.
Forsake unrighteous thoughts.
Return to the Lord and find compassion.
Find abundant pardon.
Find the truth of His word, that accomplishes His purposes.

And you will find the joy and peace that is only in His Kingdom.  A City built by God, the beautiful City of Zion.

Father in Heaven, Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts and Your ways are higher than our ways.  Your way is perfect - in wisdom, in mercy, in love, in truth, in YOU.  We call on You and know that You are near.  We listen carefully to Your Word and know that it will produce the fruit that is holy and pleasing.  We seek You and You let us find You.  How merciful and gracious You are!
Thank You for saving us. Thank You for giving us Your Son, our Redeemer.  Thank You for giving us Your Spirit to lead us, counsel us, and teach us Your Truth.  May Your will be done in all the earth and may Your Name be exalted!  Amen.
