Call On Him While He Is Near

“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. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a ruler and commander of the peoples. Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations you do not know will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.”

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Isaiah 55: 1-7

We look for ways to satisfy our deepest longings, but we never find what fully satisfies us.

“Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?” Isaiah is talking about more than just physical hunger her. God can satisfy our spiritual and emotional hunger through the promise of His presence.

Through David’s family line, A savior would come to reconnect people to God.

Hungry? God invites you to come and be filled in His presence.

Only God will satisfy our spiritual hunger.
