Isaiah 55:1-13 (NIV)
1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no
money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without
cost. 2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not
satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight
in the richest of fare. 3 Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may
live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to
David. 4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander
of the peoples. 5 Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that
do not know you will hasten to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One
of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.” 6 Seek the LORD while he may
be found; call on him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the
evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon. 8 “For my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. 9 “As the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts. 10 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, 11 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. 12 You
will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst
into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. 13
Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the
myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD’s renown, for an everlasting sign,
which will not be destroyed.”
Isaiah 55 is a very comforting chapter of scripture. Our verse today is one of my favorites. In the the King James version it says, “My Word shall not return unto me void”. This is great promise from the Lord about His Word. His Word will accomplish what He says it will. His word is like rain and snow that water the earth and help cause it to bring forth vegetation. In the Bible lands of the Near and Middle East, dry hard ground can seemingly sprout overnight with vegetation after the first rains of the rainy season. This is how it is with God’s Word. When He speaks His Word, it brings forth spiritual life, thereby accomplishing His purpose. Allow God to accomplish His purpose in you and for you today, you will be blessed as you do!
