The Sure Mercies of David

Isaiah 55

The great invitation

Isaiah 55:1-2 ““Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.”

Thirsty

Thirst can be the body for water

of the mind for knowledge and culture

of the heart for affection for companionship, friends, fellowship

or of the soul for spiritual satisafaction.

Our soul thirst for spiritual things.

Psalm 42:1-2 “As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?”

Psalm 63:1 “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.”

We can be spiritually dehydrated.

Only God can satisfy us.

1 Tim 6:6 “Now godliness with contentment is great gain.”

3 times God is asking to come.

Come to Him with physical and spiritual needs .

This applies to everyone who thirsts, those who are hungry everyone come.

And you don’t need money. Just a willingness to come.

You don’t need to have all your ducks in a row, just come.

vs 2 when you come to Christ its free no expense and you’ll leave fully satisfied.

But when you go to the world you spend money and you’re not satisfied.

Isaiah 55:3 “Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.”

The sure mercies of David was a everlasting covenant.
