Isaiah 54-58 I can't get no....satisfaction

August 9th, Isaiah 55-58

       I love irony in music and in the written word. It captures my attention quickly. Chapter 55 has a zinger. It starts off with an invitation to people who are thirsty and without money. The invite is to come, buy, and eat... Come buy, without money and without cost. Now that's a market I have never been to. The irony makes you wonder what they are getting at.
       Then the next question is posed..."Why do you spend your money on what is not bread, your labor for what does not satisfy." A call to evaluation. Of all the things to spend money on, why buy something that doesn't provide for you. Considering the time this was written it is a big question. Now days they call it disposable income, not something many people in the world have ever heard of...our limited money goes to buy things we actually need...bread.
       All the while everyone needs to know this, there is something grand that is not for sale. Something's that won't cost and will satisfy. If you can get past a world screaming for your money to erase a lack of contentment in your spirit... You and I could live off of the richest of fare. A product that could cause the 'Stones to write a new song. Are we wise enough to purchase that which is not for sale?
