Isaiah 55:1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.”
The verses I have pulled today are reminders: 1. God’s invitation is for all, not just the wealthy or those seen as worthy. We are all invited to come and be spiritually filled, without money and without cost. 2. We will find the Lord whenever we seek Him with our whole hearts (Jer 29:13). He wants us to seek Him and to know Him.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
3. His ways are not our ways. His thoughts are not our thoughts. When God gets indignant about all the same things I do, I should be concerned and look more deeply into whether I am creating Him and His reactions in my own image. 4. When I align my life with Him, joy and peace will be abundant. This is one I struggle with, especially since joy and peace sometimes seem in very short supply. However, that’s my cue to keep working to align my life, my goals, my efforts with His.
Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
Lord, Thank You for showing up with me, today and always, for always revealing a little more of who You are and who You are to me. Help me to know You more, to know You better. Help me not to worship a dim imitation that I have created in my own image. Help me to align my life with You and You alone. Draw me closer. Amen.
Isaiah 55:12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Have a blessed day.
