Like the rain

For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sewer and bread to the eater, 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.
Isaiah 55:10–11

Like the rain
In today’s verse, the divine word is compared to rain, which in the Bible symbolises God’s blessing (Deuteronomy 28:12). Rain provides us with water for refreshment and cleansing, and it brings the moisture necessary for plants to thrive. Without rain, there is no cultivation and no harvest. Similarly, the life of a Christian without the Bible, the Word of God, will remain unfruitful like land without water.

Just as rain falls gently on prepared soil, so the Word of God comes to me. It doesn’t force itself upon me but it challenges me to make good decisions for God. It motivates me to live out my faith in everyday life.

Rain falls on very different soils, and each soil absorbs it differently. I can reject the Bible, ignore it, or not even open it. But I can also engage with the Bible by reading it without prejudice and attentively listening to God and trusting Him (James 1:21). Then God speaks to me and blesses me.

The Word of God can help to bring about many good qualities in my life: love, justice, compassion and many others. And it will refresh me anew – for a life in the joy and peace of God.

Today’s reading: Judges 1:27-2:5 · 2 Corinthians 1:15-24

A LIBERAL HEART?

Read:
, God asked the widow to feed the prophet before taking care of herself. At the end of the day, what was not enough became more than enough. To what extent do you practice giving as an individual, family, church or nation?

Those who never give will continue to beg, if you desire to...More
