Let’s read aloud together the following passage
Isaiah 55:1-3 NIV
“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.
2 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.
3 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.
When we realize how sin separates us from God, we are invited into repentance. In the gospel of Luke, Jesus sees Zacchaeus the tax collector, and says he must come to his house, and everyone is surprised. Zacchaeus’ response to Jesus’ invitation into the kingdom was something so much better than his current state, that in verse 8 he says,
“Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”
As we turn from our ways to the Lord’s way, God has something exciting and better, so let salvation come!
Prayer: Lord, I hear you calling my name. I lay my life at your feet, I want to be in your house with you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
