Incline Your Ear,

And Come To Me

 

 

 

Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. See, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

 

Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

 

Isaiah 55:1-7

 

Money is a necessary part of living. Without it, we could not secure either the necessities or luxuries of life. But there are things money cannot buy. You cannot buy your way into heaven. All the wealth in the world cannot purchase the supreme blessing of forgiveness and heaven.

 

Have you trusted Jesus as your Savior? You need only to stretch out your empty hands in childlike faith to the Lord. Cry out to Him and confess your sin.

 

The faintest knock of faith

 opens wide the door

to forgiveness.
