Watering the Earth with God's Word

3/10

IS 55:10-11

Thus says the LORD:
Just as from the heavens
the rain and snow come down
And do not return there
till they have watered the earth,
making it fertile and fruitful,
Giving seed to the one who sows
and bread to the one who eats,
So shall my word be
that goes forth from my mouth;
It shall not return to me void,
but shall do my will,
achieving the end for which I sent it.

This passage makes the point that just as the rain does not evaporate and return to the heavens until it has done its ‘duty’ here on earth of bringing us moisture – making it a place that we can grow food  and sustain ourselves. The water does not evaporate until this ‘duty’ is done.’ Just as the water, Jesus compares it to His word sent forth from His mouth – that it will not evaporate until it’s job is done and it has been heard by those who are meant to hear it. Aka. Achieving the end for which it was send.
