For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11
These verses remind me of how powerful and perfect the Lord Jesus is to us. I think back on hard times in my life, and when God proved Himself faithful. Here’s a story. The transition from middle school into high school was very difficult for me. I was challenged in so many areas; basketball, school, high school group, friendships, it all was changing and became a lot harder. This was the first time I was honestly depressed. You know that feeling when nothing seems right for you and it’s just failure after failure? That’s how I felt. But now that I look back on it, I realize that God used that tribulation to grow me, make me stronger in my faith, and prepare me for the next trial. The verse applies to this because His promise doesn’t return void, And what he invests in bears fruit, as long as we remain faithful (not an easy task). There is nothing that’s insurmountable to God. He is going to allow you to be broken and forced to rely on Him, it’s up to you of how you will respond.
Application:
It’s simple. I will never give up
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28
