The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Isaiah 55:10-13, “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My Word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
12 “For you will go out with joy and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 “Instead of the thorn bush, the cypress will come up, and instead of the nettle the myrtle will come up, and it will be a memorial to the LORD, for an everlasting sign which will not be cut off.”

Believe me! You will eat your words! Has that ever been said to you? Hearing those words produces a strange feeling that pervades the entirety of the body. Instantly, you know you shouldn’t have said anything –especially, what you just said. Your statement has been challenged in the presence of witnesses and you have been judged guilty of making a statement that could not be substantiated.

The LORD has never made a challengeable statement! Here He says,

“So will My Word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing
what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for
which I sent it.”

Thus, we can trust Him, along with all that He has given us in Scripture. We can trust His Words to be true and without any mixture of error. His Word will stand forever, while human attempts, to the contrary, fail and fall to the ground in crushing defeat.

The Word of the LORD does not always bring joy, however; for His Word speaks of judgment that falls upon those who do not believe Him and/or the promises He has made. Yet, His Word is ever trustworthy. We can trust it far beyond the words of mortal man and those of the adversary, Satan!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
