GOD’S WORD WILL NOT RETURN VOID!

The word of God declares in Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV), “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” My God, I thank You that Your word is accomplishing victory in the lives of believers every time it is spoken, as You said it would—even today. That’s powerful!!! In Psalm 138:2 Your word declares, “I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; FOR YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME.” Lord, help me to recognize the magnitude of the power that Your word carries. In the beginning, You spoke Your word and the earth came into existence (Gen. Chapter 1). Moses uttered Your word and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry ground (Ex. 14:10-16). Awesome! Joshua dared to believe Your word when he uttered it and the wall of Jericho fell down (Joshua Chapter 6). Holy Father, Your word is a lightning rod!!! Deborah, the prophetess, spoke Your word and it caused her to leap into history. When Deborah spoke Your word to Barak, Your military captain, she rebuke him for not obeying Your word—resulting in You, Lord, giving a military victory to a woman (Judges 4:4-21). …Because Deborah dared to trust Your word. Hallelujah!!! Jesus spoke Your word and a man at the Pool of Bethesda, who had been ill 38 years, took up his bed and walked as he was commanded (John 5:1-9, 14:10, 17:8). Glorious! There are so many more amazing examples of Your word’s tremendous power. Lord, I thank You for Your word and in Hebrews 4:12 it says, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Heavenly Father, thank You for unveiling Your powerful word to all of us who have ears to hear. Lord, I hear Your word and I bless Your wonderful name. I give You praise, honor and glory for Your awesome word!
