Isaiah 55:11 - The Power of Gods Word.
Isaiah 55:11 (NIV) 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.
Isaiah 55:11 (NLT) It is the same with my
word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to, and it
will prosper everywhere I send it.
INTRODUCTION
The creative energy that called the
worlds into existence is in the word of God. This
word imparts power; it begets life. Every command
is a promise; accepted by the will, received
into the soul, it brings with it the life of the
Infinite One. It transforms the nature and re-creates
the soul in the image of God.
The life thus imparted is in like manner
sustained. "By every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4) shall man live.
The mind, the soul, is built up by that
upon which it feeds; and it rests with us to
determine upon what it shall be fed. It is within the
power of everyone to choose the topics that shall
occupy the thoughts and shape the character. Of
every human being privileged with access to the
Scriptures, God says, "I have written to him the great
things of My law." "Call unto Me, and I will answer
thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which
thou knowest not." Hosea 8:12; Jeremiah 33:3. {Ed
126}
COMMENTARY PEARL
Witness By The Word
Some time ago I came across this
question: Which is more important, to witness by one's
life or to witness by the Word? And my answer
was, "Which is more important, the left or right
wing of an airplane?" Thinking this very clever,
I repeated it one day in a car as I was
driving some missionaries out to lunch. One of them
spoke up and said, "That's very clever. But it's
just not true." Surprised, I asked what she
meant.
"All the way through the Scriptures," she
replied, "God has promised to bless His Word, not our
lives We are responsible to God for the way in
which we live, but it is His Word that He has
promised to bless, and this explains why a musician
in a communist country can pick up a page torn
from the Bible and be converted." Of course,
witness with your life, but know that the real power
is in God's Word.
Does the Lord bless His Word or our
lives? [Peace for Each Day by Billy Graham]
