Inside our theme this month on balance, today, we continue our focus on creating a balanced home structure.
This week, we are honing in on how getting God’s Word into our minds, hearts, and spirits can change us and bring balance. Isaiah 55 offers another powerful concept about God’s Word working in us, found in verses 10 thru 12:
“The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.
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.
You will live in joy and peace.”
Who sends out God’s Word? … He does.
What does it do when He sends it out? … Produces fruit.
When will it produce fruit when He sends it out? … Always. … Not sometimes, but always.
How do we receive His Word? Reading, listening to, ruminating on Scripture. Just as we are doing right now.
With this in mind listen again to the passage, this time from The Message
“Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don’t go back until they’ve watered the earth,
Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed.
They’ll do the work I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them.”
This passage is not a metaphor. It literally means that when we take in God’s Word, it will do a work in our lives. Our part is simply to obey and allow the Word to do the work God intended. That is why you can read a verse a hundred times over many years and get something different out of it almost every time.
Shouldn’t this concept inspire us to see God’s Word differently? As something alive? Something transformative? To bring balance to every aspect of who we are and what we do.
Let’s pray together: “Heavenly Father, I invite Your Spirit to interpret to me what You want to say and do every time I hear any Scripture. Complete Your assignment in me. As above, so below.”
If this has been helpful, will you help us in spreading the word by sharing this on your social media. You can do that where you see the three dots below or above the podcast cover on your podcast platform. Share to Facebook and encourage friends to join us each day for a few minutes; to get still and know God more because Scripture promises that He meets us in the stillness.
