Mission Possible – End Hunger, Achieve Food/Water Security: The Best Source

Key Verse

Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.

Isaiah 55:1 (NIV)

Short Reflection

Isaiah sees thirst and hunger satisfying abundance for all, free of cost. The price was paid for it by Jesus’ life given for us. Yet our thirst and hunger are not satisfied if we drink and feed from another source.

When we come to drink and eat what He provides, we are transformed, our needs are met. Then we become like the Jesus who had pity on humanity.

His sympathy becomes our actions as we practically give to others. We will care about the injustices faced by people, their lack of food, water and shelter and access to life-sustaining essentials.

Let’s feast on God’s life-transforming provision. Changed, we are better givers – generous toward others in word and deed. If we don’t come to him, we are poor and empty shells with nothing of worth to share with the needy.

God satisfies us to become his agents when we have been to his well. Come, and then give!
