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 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.

Isaiah 55:1-5

Money cannot buy everything. Even though our bodies can live on what money can purchase, money cannot keep our souls from withering away.

Is it possible to buy what truly satisfies without money? Yes, all we have to do is accept the grace of God. It is a gift and no price tag could ever touch it. And the one who offers that grace – Jesus Christ – has paid the full price with His death. When we acknowledge our thirst for God, ask forgiveness for our sins, and accept the finished work of Christ on the cross, we will find spiritual food that satisfies and our soul will live forever!

Only Jesus, the Living Water, satisfies the thirsty soul.
