It's Manic Monday!! This week our themed scripture is Isaiah 55:11, "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." We are going to look at two words: VOID and PROSPER.
Dictionary.com defines void as useless; ineffectual; vain, without contents; empty. God's word is 100% opposite from all of that. His word is not useless, ineffectual, and definitely not empty. God's holy word is full of life and purpose. And whatever God says it is, then that's what it will be. There is power in God's word. Amen and Amen.
Prosper is the completele opposite of void. Just as void is to emptiness; prosper is to fulfillment. Prosper means to make progress, succeed, and to be profitable. God's word never fails. When you delight in God's Word, you "shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever you do shall prosper,"
(Psalm 1:3).
Whenever you feel a sense of emptiness or feel like something is missing, read and meditate on God's word. Allow your spirit man to get full and let His word do the work. One thing I know for sure when you allow His word to sow into your heart, it will produce good fruit in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
