Buy Without Money
Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live. Isaiah 55:3
A story was told of a wealthy man who felt his son needed to learn gratefulness. So he sent him to stay with a poor farmers family. After one month, the son returned. The father asked, Now dont you appreciate what we have? The boy thought for a moment and said, The family I stayed with is better off. With what theyve planted, they enjoy meals together. And they always seem to have time for one another.
This story reminds us that money cant buy everything. Even though our bodies can live on what money can buy, money cant keep our souls from withering away. In Isaiah 55, we read: Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat (v.1).
Is it possible to buy what truly satisfies without money? Yes, the prophet Isaiah is pointing to the grace of God. This gift is so invaluable that no price tag is adequate. And the one who offers itJesus Christhas paid the full price with His death. When we acknowledge our thirst for God, ask forgiveness for our sins, and accept the finished work of Christ on the cross, we will find spiritual food that satisfies and our soul will live forever!
Hes calling, Come to Me (Isa. 55:3).
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him. Bonar
