DEVOTIONAL Thoughts on Isaiah 55:10-11
The Bible says that the rain and the snow do not return once they fall. That’s something  I acknowledge and have known but never pondered. So it is with Gods word in that itself does not return but what does return are the results of what was sent. Some collect rain in a barrel but God has an abundance and needs no store of water. Yet there are times when rain seems less plentiful and there are dry times. In our lives we experience dry times. It was never because God’s Word wasn’t there to fall upon us but it was because we haven’t desired to receive it. When it rains the ground is softened and so the hardness of our hearts need softened but the water of the word. Note that a God doesn’t take back His word that our hearts may again grow hard. He sends everything for effect. Do you notice the purpose for which He sends the Word in your life? Though we do not always know the purposes of God we know that what is sent from God He doesn’t want or take back but wants to soak in as rain. Beautify as snow and make us moldable and full of gift and blessing to share. When a gift is given it does not return. Pass it on and look for more!
