Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV) 11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
As I was sitting here this evening, doing some research that was completely unrelated to Biblical matters, God dropped this verse into my spirit.
I hadn’t thought about this particular scripture in quite a while, so I figured I’d take a look and see what I could find.
As I studied it and meditated on it, here are a few things that stood out to me.
First, it is God’s word. It is not man’s word. It is not man’s idea. It is God’s word. Let that sink in. God’s word.
His word is life. It is what created everything we see. His word is more powerful than we can possibly comprehend.
And look what He says next. It comes from His mouth.
It isn’t an idea or a concept. It doesn’t come from anywhere else other than His mouth.
What hit me next was that it will not return to Him void.
OK. But what does that mean? Let’s take a look.
In its simplest form, it means that it will not be fruitless. So, His word always produces fruit. It will never be useless. It will always be effective. It always produces results.
What does He say next? He says that His word will accomplish what He pleases.
His word has purpose. He speaks for a reason. And the purpose for which He speaks will come to pass. It will be fulfilled.
And look at how He wraps this up. It shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
His words are not spoken randomly or without cause. When He speaks them, they are not like a machine gun just spraying bullets everywhere.
They are precise! They are targeted and spoken with purpose.
And they prosper in the purpose for which they were sent.
There is life in this. There is hope in this.
Let His word bring you hope!
