"As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:10-11
What an amazing reality. Sometimes I read God's word so quickly because I think I know what it is saying.....and I have to stop myself and with deliberate intention read it again very slowly as if reading it for the first time. The scripture passage above is one such passage. We have all heard that "God's word does not return void." It is a familiar Christian mantra. But, let's read it slowly as if it is the first time we have ever encountered this passage. ......Go ahead....yes, I am talking to you......really, go back and read it again and seek to capture the fulness of the meaning. ......Isn't that awesome! God's word will always accomplish what it intends. What other book on the face of this earth is capable of that magnitutude of influence and impact? Lord, help me to hear your word.....let it penetrate the soil of my life and accomplish what you desire!
