Isaiah 55: 1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Look at verse 1 in the top left hand corner. “Ho” says the Lord, a word to get your attention. In yesterday’s slang it meant “Hey, listen up! I have something very important to offer!” And what he is offering is mercy without cost to us, His creation. Of course we know everything has a price, and His cost was His son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. But, because God paid the price, he offers His grace and mercy freely to all who will receive. You do not have to suffer on the cross, Christ already has, though He desires us to pick up the cross and follow Him.
So He asks the question in verse 2, “Why are you wasting money and time on things that are not of God?” Stay focused on God’s free gifts and blessings, they are worth more that all the gold there is. They are life eternal with God. May God Bless you!
