Isaiah
55:11
Stand
true in your faith knowing today that His word “…shall not return unto me
void…” God has said that things will change, He has promised in His word
that walking with Him will produce fruits that your labor will be worth;
however, many of us today become so frustrated with what appears to be
fruitless labor to the point that we give up and don’t adhere to the call God
has upon our lives… The word of God is that “If you abide in me I will
abide in you…” His word is that “weeping may endure for a night but joy
comes in the morning” His word is that “they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength…” You have read plenty of promises that God has
for those who keep the faith in a faithless world and today we are assured that
even though things may appear deem or unaltered that God is working and His work
will continue to be performed “until Christ returns…” You are working in
His vineyard and your reward is assured… This call from Isaiah is for you to
stay the course and know that your years of blood sweet and tears are producing
and watering seeds that God has in you… When you feel as if you labor is in
vain, remember what the bible declares, “For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.” God is
calling all the lowly, confused, poor and needy to come unto Him that He may
provide all that they stand in need of… You may question why you are in the
position that you are today, you may feel lost and powerless because of the
trials you face, but Isaiah reminds us in the earlier portion of this chapter that
God’s ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts and that
we must cling to His unchanging hand… There will be many avenues that we
venture down in life and there will be dead ends that we hit, but we are called
to remember that the word of God will be victorious, it will accomplish what it
was set out to accomplish! This doesn’t mean nor does this verse say that we
will be in a mindset of peace everyday of our lives, but we are to ignite our
faith on the fact that God’s word will be successful in whatever avenue it is
sent out; it will produce the crop in our lives that it is suppose to be
producing and we will reap a harvest if we faint not… This speaks to the
power of God’s word, but also it speaks to the faith that we must have in His
word! We have the ability to win, but we must speak the word of God into
every situation, we must have faith in the Lord to overcome every obstacle that
we face and Isaiah is reminding us today that God will never lie nor will His
word not accomplish what it is set forth to do… The word of God is a beacon
light in a dark and confused world… The word of God is a compass for the
lost and encouragement for the weak… The word of God is the path to Salvation
for a people who are headed to hell… The word of God is set forth to seek and
save those who are lost! Knowing that the word of God has been set in place to
do these things, we must use it to gain victory and allow it to accomplish its
task… Some of us have a child or family member that has lost sight of God’s
hand (speak the word over them) and believer it won’t come back void, some
have hit a rough spot in our lives with our jobs (speak the word of God over
the situation), some of us have been heart-broken and feel the weight of the
world is too much to bare (speak the word into that circumstance). It will
prosper in the thing whereto God sends it… Stand by faith; believing what
the psalmist wrote about, I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his
seed begging bread. We have to believe in the Lord and trust Him at His
word!!! God never said it would be easy, but what He did say is that all those
who call on His name will be saved! He never said that you wouldn’t see dark
days and sleepless nights, but He did say that a thousand may fall at your
side, ten thousand at your right hand, but if you make the Lord your dwelling
place it will not come near you…
BE BLESSED!!!
