Isaiah 55 speaks to me! :) I read it during my quiet time. Believe God is whispering some things to me from this passage. Shall sit and chew on it for a few days...
1 "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 your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
I remember my literature teacher, Mr Edwards de Cruz, when I went back to RI for a visit, happen to see me holding my Bible. So he borrowed it and browsed through it, as though he were looking for something. Then he paused and grinned widely. He began booming aloud in cheerful cadence from Isaiah 55. And I remember his rich and deep golden voice, as he metered out the rhythms, reciting Isaiah as though he were Shakespeare incarnated in a different time and age. Wow.
