Listen

All of you who are thirsty, come to the water! Whoever has no money, come, buy food and eat! Without money, at no cost, buy wine and milk! Why spend money for what isn’t food, and your earnings for what doesn’t satisfy? Listen carefully to me and eat what is good; enjoy the richest of feasts. Listen and come to me; listen, and you will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful loyalty to David.

Isaiah 55:1-3

Think

Seeking God is not something that happens automatically. It is an intentional act. We have to draw near to God. That’s why the Lord’s invitation to us is, “come.” As if to say, “arise and come to me.” What does that imply? It involves opening our hearts, spending time in prayer, listening and meditating on God’s word, and trusting in God’s promises.

God promises us that when we seek God we will find satisfaction, delight, and life. The question is, what are you waiting for, then? Today is your day to make the decision to seek God, who is ready to give you what you need. Something is required of you though: you must respond in faith to the grace of God who extended the invitation, and come.

Juan L. Garcia

Question to Ponder:

What keeps you from seeking God?

Pray

Good God, today I make the decision to come to you. I open my heart to your love and guidance. Help me to stay in relationship with you each day. Amen.

Go

The Lord who loves you reminds you in Jeremiah 29:13, “They will seek me and find me, for they will seek me with their whole heart.”
