Bible in a Year: Habakkuk 1-3, Revelation 15

[My word] will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire.
Isaiah 55:11

Today's Scripture & Insight: Isaiah 55:6-13

On Christmas Eve 1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts—Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders—became the first humans to enter lunar orbit. As they circled the moon ten times, they shared images of the moon and the Earth. During a live broadcast, they took turns reading from Genesis 1. At the fortieth anniversary celebration, Borman said, "We were told that on Christmas Eve we would have the largest audience that had ever listened to a human voice. And the only instructions that we got from NASA was to do something appropriate." The Bible verses spoken by the Apollo 8 astronauts still plant seeds of truth into the listening hearts of people who hear the historical recording.

Through the prophet Isaiah, God says, "Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live" (Isaiah 55:3). Revealing His free offer of salvation, He invites us to turn from our sin and receive His mercy and forgiveness (vv. 6-7). He declares the divine authority of His thoughts and His actions, which are too vast for us to truly understand (vv. 8-9). Still, God gives us opportunity to share His life-transforming words of Scripture, which point to Jesus, and affirm that He is responsible for the spiritual growth of His people (vv. 10-13).

The Holy Spirit helps us share the gospel as the Father fulfills all His promises according to His perfect plan and pace.
