So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the things whereto I sent it (Isa. 55:11).
As the rain and snow falling upon the earth make possible the production of food for human bodies, so shall the Word of God bring forth spiritual food to the hearts of those who feed upon it. God's Word always accomplishes the purpose for which He sends it. It never returns void, but always laden with a harvest. it is sure to accomplish that which He pleases, and it prospers in the thing whereto He sends it.
God sends His Word on definite errands. "He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly" (Ps. 147:15). The entire process of nature "is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth" (Job 37:12). And in the affairs of humanity His Word accomplishes His purpose and does not return void.
A little girl unwittingly expressed a great truth when she said, "I tell you, the Bible does not end in Timothy; it ends in revolutions." Of course, she meant Revelation; but, as Toyohiko Kagawa once said: "When you start a Bible movement it means revolution, a quiet revolution against darkness and crime."
The Word of God changes civilizations and nations by changing hearts. Every regenerated believer is born again "by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever" (1 Peter 1:23).
'Tis a pearl of price exceeding
All the gems in ocean found;
And, its sacred precepts heeding,
So shall you in grace abound.
MEDITATION PRAYER: "Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear" (Ps. 119:38).
