Isaiah 55:10-11
10 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,
11 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.
I don't know whether you have the same affliction that I do...perfect recall exactly when you don't want it. I can easily remember dumb things I've said and really smart things I meant to say...a minute, an hour, a day too late to say them. I've been "critically evaluating" my words lately, particularly the things I should have said to make a difference.
And when I do that, I begin to worry about where I'm messing up today. As I did my Beth Moore study, I was reminded of what God says in Isaiah: God's words aren't going to return empty. They will accomplish his purpose. So...onward we go, learning His word, hearing His word, and. most importantly, speaking His word so that it may accomplish His purpose.
