Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Isaiah 55:1-2 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/isa.55.1-2.KJV
When we go to God, we do not have to pay a cent to talk to Him. We do not have to buy a time slot to spend time with Him. We are not worried about commercials interrupting our time we spend with Him. When we goto the Word of God, our spirit is fed on the free gift of life that Jesus has already paid for. We are able to hear His voice speaking to us bringing joy to our souls.
We do not have to buy wine to give us joy and laughter, and a merry heart, this is why we have the Holy Spirit. I would rather be drunk in the Holy Spirit than to be drunk on wine. The Holy Spirit brings us joy and a merry heart, as to where wine and strong drink clouds your thinking which makes a person do crazy things.
Milk is good for those who are new to the Word of God, because we are new in Christ. We learn the basics and along the way we grow in Christ. While we are growing, learning, and being taught, we are learning about who we are, who we belong to, and the benefits we have in Christ who died for us. As we learn and are weaned from the milk to something to chew on, which is the stronger meanings of the Word, we cut our teeth. We learn more so we will know more than we did in the beginning when we first started out being children of God.
As we get older, we should be able to teach the Word of God, but in order to do that, we must understand what the Word is saying to us. In order to do that, we must ask God to help us understand what He is saying so we can be able to teach others. We have to remember what Proverbs 3:5-6 says. You are more than welcome to go there in your Bibles and read that verse. God is always ready to teach us something that we do not understand. He will direct us and tell us what we need to do to teach His Word. How can we teach if we do not understand what we are teaching? There are times when the teacher has to be retaught of God in order to have a clear understanding of the Word of God. It doesn’t matter how old or young a person is, but they have to know the Word of God. It is a lot to learn. We have our Bibles to go to when we forget something. That’s alright, God wants us to use our Bibles when we are teaching.
Some never learn the Word of God to teach it and share it with others, they keep it to themselves, and that is what God doesn’t want. He doesn’t want us to keep it to ourselves, He wants us to share His Word to all people until Jesus returns. He wants us to share the love of Jesus Christ, His Son, with others by being there for them however we can. We can do that by praying for someone, taking someone something to eat, buying a homeless person something to eat and to drink, giving someone a place to sleep, giving someone clothes and shoes who doesn’t have any, being a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on. There are billions of ways to share the love of Jesus Christ. When we do that, we have done it to Jesus. We never know who may have to be there for us one day. Life is too short to not want to help someone if you can. Just remember what Jesus did for all of us. He helped us in such a way that will last a lifetime throughout all eternity.
I don’t know about how you feel about the Word of God, but to me it is why I am still alive today. God’s Word is life. It is not just random words that someone wrote for entertainment. It is His voice written in 66 books leading us to life everlasting.
I want everyone to know that no matter what you are facing in your life, no matter what you are going through, God is there to carry you through. Jesus loves you today and everyday. His love never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let His love shine in our hearts today, and share His love with someone who needs it. Talk to Him today. He is waiting and wanting to hear from you today. Until next time, God bless us all, and stay safe.©2022.
