Isaiah 55 (New Living Translation)
1 “Is anyone thirsty?Come and drink—
even if you have no money!
Come, take your choice of wine or milk—
it’s all free!
2 Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength?
Why pay for food that does you no good?
Listen to me, and you will eat what is good.
You will enjoy the finest food.
(M&M #19)
3 “Come to me with your ears wide open.
Listen, and you will find life.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you.
I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.
4 See how I used him to display my power among the peoples.
I made him a leader among the nations.
5 You also will command nations you do not know,
and peoples unknown to you will come running to obey,
because I, the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, have made you glorious.”
(M&M #20)
6 Seek the Lord while you can find him.
Call on him now while he is near.
7 Let the wicked change their ways
and banish the very thought of doing wrong.
Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.
Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.
(21)
8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
(22)
10 “The rain and snow come down from the heavens
and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry.
11 It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it. (23)
12 You will live in joy and peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song,
and the trees of the field will clap their hands!
13 Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.
Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.
These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name;
they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.” (24)

God is so powerful yall. His power is testified in these verses but also has been amplified for me personally just now with regard to this passage. I am planning on using this passage for the rest of my Beth Moore M&M's, but I also felt lead to email it to a dear friend of mine who I feel God is trying to reconcile Himself with, and post it here. Well , anyway, when I tried to email it to them and just now when posting it here... I was going to add my own coomments... right? God would not let me, hence when i'm explaining all this as an "added thought" on here. Don't get me wrong, please, I'm not offended, just awestruck.
Dear gracious Father, I know Your word is enough and as verse 11 from this passage proclaims, it will do the work You sent it to do. I lift who is on my heart up to You this very second, Lord be the undiniable Great I AM, be Who they need for You to be, so they will turn their heart to You everlastingly. And Master, help me too to follow You and You alone to do Your work ...not returning to You in heaven until I have completed it. All glory and honor to You my King in Jesus name -amen.
If anyone has followed this post in particular you mayhave noticed that I have been able to go and edit, although I've only been editing the color of the text...watch around the 1st and 15th of next month. I'll change the color for the next two verses then oh and add which number these verses are for my M&M's...
Our God is truly an Awesome God!!!!!!!!!
