Dear Church Family, Have you heard the phrase, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch?” It’s the idea that everything in life has a cost. Whenever you hear about a deal that seems too good to be true, it probably is! I read Isaiah 55 this morning and noticed that God makes one of those offers. The amazing thing, though, is His offer really is true!
Two things stick out to me. First, God’s amazing offer of life and satisfaction through a covenantal relationship. The amazing thing is, this offer is completely free and it satisfies our deepest longings. We truly find the fulfillment of our deepest longings through our relationship with God. You don’t have to bring anything to the table, just yourself. You don’t have to prove anything to God, just accept His free gift. Jesus paid it all. The second thing is in verse two. God asks why anyone would try to find that satisfaction anywhere else. Nothing else will satisfy our souls, so why would we look elsewhere. Sadly, we often turn to other things to try to find what God offers for free. Have you been laboring and spending your money on things that cannot satisfy? Come to Him and be satisfied!
