ISAIAH 55
I've been into this new thing just lately where I go to a church service and while I'm on my way there, I pray that God will drop even just one thing into my spirit. More is better, but I don't want to leave without grasping even one small prophetic truth about who He is, or who I am, or what He's saying.
Last week it was that God gives us the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. This weekend has been one of those times where a certain scripture keeps coming up, and that's Isaiah 55:8-11:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
It's been a big scripture for me for some time already. Then it came up in my flipping through the Bible yesterday. Then a friend posted part of it as a comment last night on my previous blog. Then tonight it was the subject of the preach.
When these types of series of events happen, they are likely an indicator that there is something to reflect on and listen to.
So I am off to reflect....
