Isaiah 55:2

Isaiah 55:2. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not?

If you spend your money for that which is not bread, you are likely to be disappointed. "Oh, but," you say, "I have made many an effort." Yes, I know you have; but, if you labour for "that which satisfieth not", I do not wonder that you are not satisfied. Let your past defeats drive you to your God. If you have failed hitherto, so much the more reason why you should listen to the Lord’s message. He says to you,-

Isaiah 55:2. Hearken diligently unto me,

Salvation comes through the ear, more than through the eye. Hearken;

hearken; hearken diligently, with both your ears, with all your heart,

hearken unto your God.

Isaiah 55:2. And eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

If we will hear, and will believe, we shall be satisfied; we shall be delighted; we shall be overjoyed. The Lord can take our thirst away, and give instead a delight in fatness.
