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 your soul will delight in the richest of fair. Isaiah 55:1,2
This verse makes me think of all the "things" we struggle and strive for. It makes me think of all the material things that we think we cannot be happy without. This is such a good reminder to me, that it is such a waste to spend my money and energy on things that will not really satisfy. Some material things will bring us joy for a time, but usually it is short lived and then replaced with a desire to get the next thing!
What really satisfies? God! God really satisfies! God fills that emptiness and brings true and lasting joy and contentment.
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost! The things we need the most are free to us! Wine is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, I believe milk is symbolic of the true food we need, the Word of God!
Come friends let us feast on the Holy Spirit and the Word! Let us place our priorities on things that truly satisfy!
