“Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” Isa 55:3 

God’s word, like his covenant was with David and us through Jesus, is perpetual; not a one and done promise. God’s covenant is one which promises great favors, it’s not abrogated, but it was perpetual for David and is for us as well. Isaiah instructs us to “Hear and your soul shall live” if you attend to God’s word.  He states it’s “Everlasting” eternal protector, friend, life everlasting. And adds “even the sure mercies of David. Meaning God has confirmed with us, N.T. saints, the same solemn promise he made with David (Psa 89:2-4) which shall be promised and established upon generations. The word “sure” denotes the assuredness, conformation and confidence can be placed in God’s word. This is God’s great invitation for us today through Jesus Christ. That allows us to “come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Heb 4:16) This is what the promised covenant in God’s word affords his children. But, find caution and wisdom in vs 6 “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near.” While God is equally near at all times, this figurative language is cautioning in that a time will come when it will be impossible to obtain his favor/s.  Don’t put off till tomorrow the promises God affords to day for those who earnestly seek him, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; thou knowest not what a today brings forth.” Pro 27:1

Words denote what you think, action defines what you believe.
