Water and Word?

Isaiah 55:10-12 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth; It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. 

 Water is the catalyst for seeds to grow. Without it, they will just remain tiny seeds in the ground without harvest or purpose. The Word of God and the truth of the Gospel is to us like water is to seeds. It is the very thing that makes us come alive because it is the place where we find who we have been made to be. God’s Word, in action and speech, brings to life the harvest that once laid dormant. 

 Many might see just a seed, but God sees a giant tree with an abundant harvest. Who’s view will you take when you see others?

 There is never a wasted act of love or kindness. Regardless of the response of the other person, God’s Word, whether delivered in action or word, will never return void. Anytime you speak truth to someone, or share with them the truth (the Gospel) of what Jesus Christ accomplished for us, it causes change and a reaction takes place. His Word waters the seeds that have been planted.

 “The Word of God is living and active. It is sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and the attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12."

  Live in a way that shows the Gospel each day, and speak the truth of God when it is required, so that the truth of Christ that is invested over every day of your life may bring a bountiful harvest that no storehouses have room to hold when our days on earth are through. Go out in joy and be led forth in peace knowing that God’s Word never returns void, but it returns having accomplished what God has intended, washing over the seeds that have been planted in the hearts of men. Be a messenger of His word!
