Bread and Oranges

The Old Testament text for this week needs little comment:
"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? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare." (Isa. 55:1-2)
So often when I am thirsty, when I am in need, when I am exhausted, I turn to the things of this world to satisfy me. They are right there, in every commercial, every movie and sitcom, on every pop-up ad and in my inbox. They promise what only God can deliver. And I seem to fall for it over and over again. When will I learn? When will I finally trust that God is the only one who can truly satisfy me?
