Isaiah 55
Today's Advent Reading
The invitation in Isaiah, as in all of Scripture, is to come to the Lord. If we come to him, we can be satisfied--he longs to shower us with his loving faithfulness.
Our thoughts are not his thoughts--we can't always understand why things happen in life. Who could understand that a little baby born 2000 years ago would be the Savior of the world? Who could understand the significance of his death of a cross--that it would be for the forgiveness of our sins?
This Christmas, let us focus on Christ and the thoughts of the Lord. He wants to give us joy and peace, to cause us to be thirsty no more, and to be full as we satisfy ourselves with his Word.
