“Listen to me, you stubborn people
    who are so far from doing right.
13 For I am ready to set things right,
    not in the distant future, but right now!
I am ready to save Jerusalem
    and show my glory to Israel (NLT).

Isaiah 55:6 says,

”Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.”

There is a timing in the movements of God’s Spirit; there are moments of opportunity. Don’t miss them.

In 2 Cor.6:1,2 Paul writes:

As God’s fellow workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. 2 For he says,

‘In the time of my favour I heard you,
    and in the day of salvation I helped you.’

I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.”

Here, Paul is quoting from Isaiah 49:8.

In preaching on Isaiah 46, many years ago, David Pawson made the point that there is a time when God comes to us, and we should not miss the opportunity.

Tom Hale writes: ‘Now the time has come when men and women can receive salvation through faith in Christ. Let no one delay. Do not even wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow may be too late. A heart that is open and tender today may become closed and hard tomorrow. A man who is alive today may be dead tomorrow. Therefore, now is the day of salvation’ (p. 675).
