Word of God

I was taught during my early years of Christianity that the Word of God contained the answers that we needed as we faced the challenges of life. I bought into that principle and I am still buying into that principle today. You may ask, "Why do you still believe that today? After all, haven't you grown in the faith and your level of spiritual knowledge has expanded?" Yes, I do feel that I have grown in my relationship with Christ. My "spiritual growth" has led me to believe even more in the truthfulness and veracity of the Word of God. My journey with Christ has brought me face to face with those moments in which the Word of God was the anchor that held my faith steady and secure while I endured the storm. Many of you feel the same way today. We stand in bold confidence in the power of the Word of God to be fulfilled in our lives as well as the lives of those people that we interact with on a daily basis (family & friends). We pray and believe because the Word teaches us the principle of praying and believing. The passage in Isaiah 55 has been speaking to my heart and soul this week. I encourage you to take some time to meditate on the passage that I feel led to share with you today. Let your spirit marinate in the promise and power of the written Word of God.

Isaiah 55:6-11

"Seek the Lord while you can find him.

    Call on him now while he is near.
⁷ Let the wicked change their ways
    and banish the very thought of doing wrong.
Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.
    Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.

⁸ “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
    “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
⁹ For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so my ways are higher than your ways
    and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

¹⁰ “The rain and snow come down from the heavens
    and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
    producing seed for the farmer
    and bread for the hungry.
¹¹ It is the same with my word.
    I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
    and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
