Isaiah 55:1a “Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink—even if you have no money!…
During the school year, I am a planner (with a backup plan and a contingency plan just in case). It helps me to effectively move students from point A to point B through the semester. Summers are more laid back, but today’s verses struck me because how I read them during the summer and during the school year is vastly different. Therefore, what God can show me is different.
Isaiah 55:1b …Come, take your choice of wine or milk— it’s all free!
God has been teaching me to trust this summer–Trust His timing. Trust His plan. Trust His ways. So many things haven’t worked according to my plan, but I am more present, more thankful, more grateful because of it. I really hope I can learn to take this mindset with me into the new school year.
Isaiah 55:2a Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good?
Lord, Thank you for the way that You created me, fearfully and wonderfully. Thank You that You can use my gifts and strengths in so many ways for Your glory. Thank You that You’ve allowed me to experience you in a totally different way this summer than I can during the school year. Help me take that mindset shift with me into the classroom, too. Amen.
Isaiah 55:2b …Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food.
Have a blessed day.
