Context — The LORD Has Chosen Israel
1But now listen, O Jacob My servant, Israel, whom I have chosen.
2This is the word of the LORD, your Maker, who formed you from the womb and who will help you: “Do not be afraid, O Jacob My servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and currents on the dry ground. I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.
4They will sprout among the grass like willows by flowing streams. 5One will say, ‘I belong to the LORD,’ another will call himself by the name of Jacob, and still another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and will take the name of Israel.”Cross References

This means that God wants to bring new life and vitality to our families and communities, and we can trust Him to do so (Isaiah 55:1, Ezekiel 36:27). As we seek God's refreshment and blessing, we can have confidence that He will provide for us and our loved ones, and that His Spirit will be poured out on us, just like a never-ending river.

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 44:3
For I will pour water oh him that is thirsty,.... Or rather upon the thirsty land, as the Targum; and so the Syriac version, "in a thirsty place"; as a dry land is a thirsty land; it thirsts for
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 44:3
For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: I will pour water upon him that is thirsty -
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 44:3
I will pour water; my Spirit and blessing, which is frequently compared to water; and so it is expounded in the latter part of the verse. Upon him that is thirsty: either, 1. Upon him that desires it. Or rather, 2. Upon him that is destitute of it; for what is here thirsty, in the next clause it is called dry ground. My Spirit; the gifts and graces of my Spirit; which expression he seems designedly to use, to lift up the minds and hearts of the Jews from carnal and worldly things, to which they were too much addicted, unto spiritual and heavenly blessings, and thereby to prepare them for the better entertainment of the gospel. My blessing; all the blessings of my covenant, both spiritual and temporal.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 44:3
Isaiah 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:Ver. 3. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty.] Or, Upon the thirsty place; hearts that hunger and thirst after righteousness. I will pour my spirit and my blessing.] When God giveth a man his Holy Spirit, he giveth him blessing in abundance; even all good things at once, as appeareth by Matthew 7:11 Luke 11:13. Here are three special operations of the Spirit instanced: 1. Comfort; 2. Fruitfulness; 3. Courage for Christ.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 44:3
(3) I will pour water . . .—The latter words of the verse interpret the former. It is not the union of material or spiritual blessings, but first the symbol, and then the reality. The “thirst” is that of Psa 42:1; John 4:13-14. In the promise of the Spirit we have an echo of Joe 2:28.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 44:3
3. On the first half of the verse see ch. Isaiah 41:17 ff. Here, however, a figurative sense predominates, as is shewn by what follows. The “spirit” is the agent both of physical and moral regeneration, as in ch. Isaiah 32:15 (cf. Ezekiel 37:11-14); the former idea being prominent; hence the parallelism “spirit”—“blessing,” the former being the cause, the latter the effect. On the figure of water for the spirit, cf. John 1:33 etc. seed and offspring are individual Israelites.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 44:3
For I will pour water - Floods, rivers, streams, and waters, are often used in the Scriptures, and especially in Isaiah, to denote plenteous divine blessings, particularly the abundant influences of
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 44:3
3. Water… thirsty… floods… ground — Of the two parallelisms here the second explains the first. “Here, the Lord says to the beloved people why they need not be afraid.
