Tues.'s Devo - Thirsty?

Read Isa 55:1-5
It is said that we only come to God when we are in need. Actually, we are always in need of God, it is just that some people have found a panacea in the world. The rest of us are thirsty for God. Verse one says that whoever is thirsty must come and purchase wine and milk without money or price. God's living water and wine is free and available to all. The world offers many things for us to spend our money on that does not satisfy, but God's Word will make us fat in a good way. God's Word gives us promises that are sure and good. God sent us David as a type of Jesus. He would lead his armies to victory and remain a worshipper of God. Whenever he was afraid or needed help he always called on the Lord and has left us his psalms to use in similar situations. God's covenant with David was that the Messiah would rule on the Davidic throne in an everlasting kingdom (Luke 1:31-33). That will be fulfilled at Christ's Second Coming (Matt. 25:31). Verse 5 talks of the Gentile nations coming to Jesus and making him their king. (Mic. 4:1-5; Zech. 14:16-21)
Lord, we are thirsty for your revelation and your word. Teach us the times we are living in and how to move in You.
