Shopping where I can “buy without money”

Daily writing prompt
Where would you go on a shopping spree?

An ancient writer invited his readers to an amazing shopping spree. He said: “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. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?”

That ancient writer’s name is Isaiah. He added: “Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.”

There’s a longing in your heart that nothing you ever buy with money can satisfy. No shopping spree that isn’t free can give you inner victory. Looking into the future, Isaiah saw a Savior who would give His life as the price to ransom you. “He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”

The Best Shopping Spree 

Awaken to joy.
Train yourself to be
Spiritually fed
And directly led
By Christ as your Head.
Like the Bible said:
"Awake, O sleeper,
Rise up from the dead
And Christ will give you light."

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
