“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 55:11 (NASB)
As we write these words today we can say that we have had a lot of rain in our area. It is an opportunity, perhaps, to reminds ourselves of a lesson God teaches us about rain through the writings of the prophet Isaiah. God says that rain comes for a purpose, and He uses it to help us grow our food. He likens the purpose and process of rain to the spreading of His Word. How wonderful to know that God has revealed himself in His Word and we have His Word in our Bible. When God speaks to us through the Bible, let's remember that He does it for a purpose. God wants to make us more like Himself. He has other purposes too when He talks to us through His Word. Let's be sure we're listening and we're obeying so that God can fulfill his purpose in and through us.
