Pastor Paul A. Tullberg
Sermon text: Isaiah 55:6-11

6 Seek the Lord while he may be found!

Call on him while he is near!

7 Let the wicked man abandon his way.

Let an evil man abandon his thoughts.

Let him turn to the Lord,

and he will show him mercy.

Let him turn to our God,

because he will abundantly pardon.

8 Certainly my plans are not your plans,

and your ways are not my ways, declares the Lord.

9 Just as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so my ways are higher than your ways,

and my plans are higher than your plans.

10 Just as the rain and the snow come down from the sky

and do not return there

unless they first water the earth, make it give birth, and cause it to sprout,

so that it gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

11 in the same way my word that goes out from my mouth

will not return to me empty.

Rather, it will accomplish whatever I please,

and it will succeed in the purpose for which I sent it.
