“Come And Drink The Water
I Offer To You”
"Come,
all of you who are thirsty. Come and drink the water I offer to you. You who do
not have any money, come. Buy and eat the grain I give you. Come and buy wine
and milk. You will not have to pay anything for it.
Why spend money on what is not food? Why work for what does not satisfy you?
Listen carefully to me. Then you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the
richest food there is.
Listen and come to me. Pay attention to me. Then you will live. I will make a
covenant with you that will last forever. I will give you my faithful love. I
promised it to David.
I made him a witness to the nations. He became a leader and commander over
them.
You
too will send for nations you do not know. Even though they do not know you,
they will hurry and come to you. That is what I will do. I am the Lord your
God. I am the Holy One of
Turn to the Lord before it's too late. Call out to him while he's still ready
to help you.
Isaiah 55:1-6
Have
you ever done a jigsaw puzzle? You start with one piece and you keep adding
pieces. But from the beginning to end, it can be time-consuming, and you even
think maybe there are pieces missing, but they always show up. Maybe you have
been pursuing the wrong pieces to the puzzle. Even though we may know that life
without God at the center is a life that has lost its most important piece, do
we still cast Him aside? And even though we may attend church regularly, is He
the throbbing center of our lives? Sometimes we grow accustomed to feeling
distant from God. This makes it easier to sin, complicating the sense that
something is missing.
No
matter how far we drift from God, He wants us near.
If
something is missing in your life, remember that God is the only One who can
fully and abundantly satisfy you. Let Him complete the picture of your life.
There’s a longing in every heart that only Jesus can
satisfy.
