I will never leave you or forsake you?

Really?  What if sometimes it does not feel like it.  It has been that way for me lately.  It has felt like I have been forsaken, forgotten, abandoned.  What does it feel like to feel hopeless.  But I am not supposed to feel hopeless.  I have the hope.  I have the One who gives hope.  So why do I feel this way.  And then Isaiah 55 happened...

Thousands of years ago, God spoke to Isaiah with a message to the Israelites....and to me...today.

55:1 “Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me;
hear, that your soul may live;
and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
my steadfast, sure love for David.

 

I am beginning to realize that I have been spending my money and time and hope on stuff that does not satisfy.  I think I am becoming aware of what "rich food" may be.  Lord take me to a place where I can feast on the richest and not settle for anything else.
