Jehovah Jireh

Isaiah gives God's invitation to all who thirst and hunger to come and buy food and drink with out cost. The Psalmist declares that the Lord provides food in due season. He is faithful and will not disappoint.

The Gospel echoes these images as Jesus provide food for the masses.

This is a God of compassion. He needs no strong-arming to bless. As Isaiah declares the bread is freely given, yet so often we fight for food that is no food at all.

How will we wrestle with the two sides of this? Freely given and a costly wrestling to receive.
