“It Is My Word That Goes
Out”
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my
ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without
watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed
for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word
that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will
accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:8-11
There has been a lot of discussion about whether there really is
anything to the concept of “six degrees of separation.” What we do know is
simple. It is the wisdom and providence of God working through His Word to accomplish
His will that we should be aware of.
It may be that a simple word offered in love, guided by the
wisdom of God and borne aloft of the wings of the Spirit will have eternal
consequences in someone’s life.
Should we not then fill ourselves with God’s Word and pass it on
to others with the prayer that God will use if for His intended purposes?
As the blossom can’t tell what becomes
of the fragrance,
we can’t tell what becomes of our influence.
