so shall my
word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return
to me empty,
but it shall
accomplish that which I purpose,
and succeed in the
thing for which I sent it. –Isaiah
55:11 (NRSV)
Our God is
confident...that his word will accomplish the purpose for which he sent
it. “And the word became flesh and
lived among us.” And in Jesus
lived grace and truth. God is
confident that word will accomplish its purpose.
Revelation,
from which comes our Hymn of Praise lyrics, is a difficult book to
understand. It’s filled with
strange and wonderful imagery. And
while the individual images may perplex us, the interpretation of the book can
be condensed into two words: God
wins. God accomplishes his
purpose. The Word wins. Can I believe that because of my faith
in God’s Word I win too? God’s
word will have its way in my life.
Thank you, Word of God, word of life, for dwelling
in me and working your will in my life.
Keep me focused...
