Isaiah 55:1-3 Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.

When I realized I had been idolizing my reputation at work...

Jesus, I hunger for approval - I want to matter. Again, I have feasted on my reputation and honor in the eyes of others, forgetting that the food on that table is costly, fleeting, and leaves me emptier than before. Let me come, empty pockets and empty heart, to Your table - a free and rich feast where Your love and approval are on offer for all of us. Today let me linger there with You, honored, full, and whole.
