Isa 55:10-11 | KingComments | STEP | In these verses His words are added to His thoughts and His ways, through which He reveals and makes known His thoughts and His ways. Just as He has absolute control over the rain and the snow and what the earth produces and to which man is utterly powerless to change anything, so His word will go forth from His mouth. Thus His thoughts will be fulfilled, in grace! Let us remember that God’s thoughts are too numerous to count ( ) and that His thoughts are always full of peace and a blessed future ( ). It is with His word as with the rain and the snow through which He cultivates fertility. When they have done that work, they rise again as vapor. Likewise, His word will not return without having done what He sent it to do. He who opens his heart as fertile ground and receives and absorbs the Word will show its effect in his life. It does its work there. God’s word is fruitful and powerful, which will never fail in the purpose to which He sends it, either in grace or in judgment (cf. ). His word is His messenger ( ; ). His word is presented here as a person. It runs like a quick messenger and fulfills God’s will with all the vibrant power, both in nature and in the midst of people. A word is the expression of a thought. Christ is called the Word of God. He has explained God ( ). Through the word that emanates from God, one lives ( ). Just as what comes out of the soil of the earth was produced by rain and snow, so it is with the soil of the heart of man and the word of God.

‏ Isaiah 55:10-11

God’s Word Accomplishes What He Desires

In these verses His words are added to His thoughts and His ways, through which He reveals and makes known His thoughts and His ways. Just as He has absolute control over the rain and the snow and what the earth produces and to which man is utterly powerless to change anything, so His word will go forth from His mouth. Thus His thoughts will be fulfilled, in grace! Let us remember that God’s thoughts are too numerous to count (Psa 40:5) and that His thoughts are always full of peace and a blessed future (Jer 29:11).

It is with His word as with the rain and the snow through which He cultivates fertility. When they have done that work, they rise again as vapor. Likewise, His word will not return without having done what He sent it to do. He who opens his heart as fertile ground and receives and absorbs the Word will show its effect in his life. It does its work there. God’s word is fruitful and powerful, which will never fail in the purpose to which He sends it, either in grace or in judgment (cf. Heb 6:7-8).

His word is His messenger (Isa 9:8; Psa 107:20 ; Psa 147:15 ; 18). His word is presented here as a person. It runs like a quick messenger and fulfills God’s will with all the vibrant power, both in nature and in the midst of people.

A word is the expression of a thought. Christ is called the Word of God. He has explained God (Jn 1:18). Through the word that emanates from God, one lives (Deu 8:3). Just as what comes out of the soil of the earth was produced by rain and snow, so it is with the soil of the heart of man and the word of God.
