Morning by Morning, October 7, 2024 - “Everyone.... Come to Me” Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name and listen for Your leading, as I begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit (John 10:27). ... “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David” (Isaiah 55:1-3). Four times in these three Verses, You say, “Come....” You call “Everyone” to “Come.” You invite “Everyone” to “Come.” You reach out to “Everyone” to pursue You as You express Your heart for us, “Come to Me.” How do we “Come to (You)?” ... You said, “Incline your ear, and come to Me” (v. 3). How do we “Incline (our) ear?” ... We “listen carefully to (You), and eat what is good” (v. 2). This speaks of intentionally, deliberately positioning ourselves in Your Presence, of eating Your Word by reading, hearing, and being grounded in Your Word. This speaks of waiting on You in prayer, listening for the leading of Your Voice through Your Word and by Your Spirit. You are ready to be heard. You are ready to be pursued and sought after. You are ready to embrace and lead. You are ready and available to “Everyone” who will “Come” (v. 1). And when we do, You promise us, “Your soul shall delight itself in abundance” (v 2). You promise us, “Your soul shall live” (v. 3). These are “sure mercies” of an “everlasting covenant” that will never be broken, never be cancelled, never be replaced with anything less for all who would “Come” (v. 4). So I embrace Your invitation. I take time to listen and to wait in the communion of prayer and the praise of worship as I open Your Word. I come to You and embrace the Ever-abiding Presence of Your Spirit, here with me and in every place and moment of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
