This chapter begins with a clarion call to the people urging, prompting, and calling them to a new day, a new time in the life of the kingdom living. The passage opens with a burst of excitement of an invitation, to a banquet. It ends with an unparalleled description of joy and peace. All one needs to accept the invitation is a thirst.
As the Text open it reminds the people of an invitations to which all are welcome to come it 
does not exclude anyone the people are invited to come; even if they have no money. Neither one’s need nor one’s ability to
pay will stifle the responses to the invitation.
The prominent place of food and meals in the Bible may be surprising to us fast-food and take out eaters. Back in biblical times, gathering and preparing food took time and occupied a significant part of Israel’s life. The danger of famine (due to natural calamities or crops failure) gave special important to food. Water was drawn from a well or spring , not a faucet or commercial bottle. Bread was baked from scratch, and bean and lentils simmered for hours.
Are these verses referring to material things? ‘Yes’ as well as spiritual, the joy of Israel is said to be eating and drinking before the Lord basking in the fullness of God. Vv 2b is a call for the people to listen to God which suggest more than material provision is in view. The people are to listen to what Yahweh is about to say, for what Yahweh say is the stuff of life. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceed from the mouth of God.”
Sometime when we have functions and there is a fee, some people will not attend, because they cannot afford to pay the fee. But, God gives an invitation that will cost you nothing; you can have the best of what He offers. On God’s RSVP the only response should be: I will attend.
In verse 1the writer tell us where to come, for it says: “come to the waters.” Waters represent refreshing, cleansing, it is the provision of Yahweh, for those who are thirsty. Water is a very important part of life sustaining element; our bodies is comprise of 60-70% of water, and it takes a lot of it to keep us alive. The average person can live only three days without water.
Water in the Bible is a picture of rebirth, when Jesus talked with Nicodemus he said “except a man be born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. When Jesus met the woman at the well He gave her water that spring-up into everlasting life. (John 4) God promise to give us water from the well of salvation.
Jesus promise complete contentment to everyone who will drink of the water that He offers. Jesus offers wine in biblical times, wine was just as important as water. The wine killed the bacteria and made the water drinkable.
He offers milk. Milk is essential for healthy growth. After the birth of a baby the diet consist of milk and water for a period of time. Milk contains all the nourishment and has the essentials nutrient needed to transform a baby into a healthy child. Milk in the bible is a picture of the word of God. The milk of the word helps us grow up strong in the things of God. Like new born babies you should crave (thirsty for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation. (1 Peter 2:2)
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” “Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee”, “Thy word is better than my necessary food”; “In the beginning was the Word.” “For the word of God is sharper than any two edge sword.”
Right price: the world makes you pay for everything; not God He places everything on the free table, all you’re simply for the asking and receiving. Since God’s gifts are free, anyone can receive them. God doesn’t require money; the only currency God requires is the currency of faith. He will open the store house of His blessings to all those who will exercise simple faith to His invitation to come.
You might be asking how God can make such a free offer to people who are so disobedient, who do not love their fellow-man, people who are prejudice, people who only care about themselves. God can make this offer because Jesus paid for it all: “All to Him I owe; sin has left it crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.”
The invitation is open you do not need to purchase anything, ladies there is no need to rush out and buy a new dress. Men there is no need for you to rent a tuxedo, young men and young ladies there no need for you to buy new Jordan, Addis, or Reebok jersey, Miley Cyrus, North Face, or designer jeans, or any of those things. For He tells us to come as we are, all we need is faith in God. The invitation is open, all is welcome.
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:4b “They all drank the same spiritual drink”, they drank from a spiritual Rock that followed them and that rock was Jesus.
God gives us an open invitation to all who is thirsty come to the waters, and he who has no money you come, buy, eat! God gives us the invitation and He makes no distinction, He make no demands, He does not care what you look like, He’s not concern with how much you know, how much money you have; what type of house you live in. God invite all who will come, for He desires to bless all who will come to Him in faith. Do not concern yourself with how God is going to do it just come, accept the invitation and send back the RSVP. Saying I WILL COME.
