“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)
It seems too easy to be told to not be anxious about anything as we find in Philippians 4:6 but that is NOT a “Don’t worry, Be happy” kind of suggestion. It is an instruction from God and He promises the support we need to not be anxious. Do any of us ever worry that our testimony and living out the gospel of Christ Jesus is not worth the effort? We do not see obvious results after our effort of doing what Jesus sent us to do. “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” We may encounter different worries from this apparent lack of results. Our enemy will most certainly work to convince us of the uselessness of obedience to Jesus. But from our verse for today we can know that every time God’s word is proclaimed, large or small, it will always accomplish what God intends. God’s will happens each time we share His word. Don’t worry about the results or effectiveness, if we do not see what we expect, just proclaim His truth at each opportunity and let God manage results.
Next: Worry about weakness.
