Isaiah 55:1 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.

What a promise!  Jesus is that fountain, He is the source; Jesus said that those who believe on Him will never thirst! (Joh 4:14, Joh 6:35, Joh 7:37)

Notice how it says 'every one that is thirsty, come'.  You will not be turned away if you come to God thirsting for him.  Matthew 5:6 says "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."  Are you thirsty for God today?  Are you thirsting for His word?  Are you thirsting after righteousness?

We are told to come and buy wine and milk without money and without price.  Christ has paid the price!  Jesus paid it all, all to Him we owe!  We can do nothing to earn favour with God apart from Christ, and all Christ asks is to come.  We are told to bring nothing, no righteousness of our own, no awards or good deeds, but just to come and drink from the everlasting fountain which flows from the rock of our salvation.  Just as Moses struck the rock to let the water flow and satisfy the thirst of the Israelites, so too as Jesus been stricken to let the eternal waters flow to satisfy our thirst.

Come today and be filled.
