Seek God
1-5 “Hey there! All who are thirsty, come to the water!
Are you penniless? Come anyway—buy and eat! Come, buy your drinks, buy wine and milk. Buy without money—everything’s free!
Why do you spend your money on junk food, your hard-earned cash on cotton candy?
Listen to me, listen well: Eat only the best,fill yourself with only the finest.Pay attention, come close now, listen carefully to my life-giving, life-nourishing words.
I’m making a lasting covenant commitment with you, the same that I made with David: sure, solid, enduring love.”
6 Seek God while he’s here to be found, pray to him while he’s close at hand.
– Isaiah 55:1-3, 6
The Message Version (MSG)
尋求神
1-3「嗨!所有口渴的人,來就近水吧!
你們身無分文嗎?不要緊,來——買和吃吧!來啊!買你們要喝的,不管是酒是奶,不用錢買的——什麼都是免費的!
為什麼把血汗錢用來買棉花糖呢?
你們聽我說,而且要聽好:只要吃最好的,只用最精美的滿足自己,
留心,現在就近前來,要聽清楚我這賜人生命又滋養生命的話語,
我要與你們立永遠的約,像我跟大衛所立的一樣:鑑定、穩固、持久的愛……」
6 你們要趁可以尋找神的時候,尋求祂,趁祂近在咫尺的時候向祂祈禱。
— 賽55:1-3、6
