His Word Will Not Return Void

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 thing whereto I sent it.

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…

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
