All Creation Waits, Day 17 – My Word Will Not Return Empty
Week 3 – 3rd Sunday of Advent – Waiting in Joy (Isaiah 55)
Isaiah 55:11
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose
and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Thoughts
God’s Word creates what it speaks. In the beginning, light appeared; in the wilderness, water flowed; in Mary’s womb, the Word became flesh. Every promise God makes is already pulsing with life. Advent joy rests in that certainty – God’s Word never fails. Even when we can’t see the fruit, the seed is already growing.
Question
Where do you need to trust that God’s Word is quietly at work, even if you can’t yet see the results?
Prayer
Lord, let Your Word take root in me. Grow joy where I cannot yet see fruit …
