Isaiah chapter 55, verses 10 and 11.

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,

and do not return there but water the earth,

making it bring forth and sprout,

giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall

my word be that goes out from my mouth. It shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish

that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Oh, what a testimony to the power and the purpose of God's Word.

Just get the imagery here.

Like you picture rain or snow falling from heaven to the earth.

They don't go straight back up.

Like they bring water to the land that then sprouts and brings forth fruit, giving seed to the

sower, bread to the eater. So this is how my word works, God says. It goes out from my mouth and it doesn't come right back to me.

It doesn't return to me empty.

It accomplishes that which I purpose.

It brings fruit and success.

That's the word.

It shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

And so I just want you to think about it. Okay,

practically, what does this mean? Well, one, doesn't this lead us to pray that God's word in our

hearts would bear this kind of fruit? We wouldn't just hear the word and then forget about it,
