Isaiah 55:11 (NLT) reminds us that we can rely and trust in God’s word. This powerful passage of text says, “It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.”

The three things that stand out to me from this single passage of text are produces, accomplish, and prosper. It’s not hard to see the evidence of these three things actively and fruitfully working in the life of a faithful believer because even when things are bad they choose to lean one that biblical truth!

Equally, I love how the Message Bible paraphrased this passage and it reads, “Every word that proceeded from My mouth will not return to Me without being fulfilled.” Best believe this means from the first verse written in Genesis 1:1 to last verse spoken in Revelation 22:21!

Beloved, those who heed God’s word will discover that all His promises are ‘Yes’ in Christ and ‘Amen’ to the glory of God (2 Cor 1:20) and everyone who choose to listen to His voice will be blessed beyond imagination, “for eye has not seen and ear has not heard the wonderful things God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Cor 2:9).

Lastly, God’s word is irrefutably true and absolutely dependable. 2 Peter 1:9 also reminds us “The prophetic word is an altogether reliable thing. You would do well if you pay the same attention to God’s Word as you would to a light shining in a dark and murky place – until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”

#HisWordWillNeverEverFail

In Matthew 12:25 the Bible says Jesus knew their thoughts and He said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.”

Pray with me today for our divided nation:

Father God, we thank You for what Your word summons and teaches our hearts and minds today. Lord Jesus, we lift up this rhema word over our nation and nations across the globe from all the division, confusion, sickness, fear, and disasters, hatred, and every form of malicious dissension, discord, or strife.

Father God, help us stand on Your word written in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and turn to You for repentance and to say, “YES LORD HEAL OUR LAND so that we can all live in the land flowing with milk and honey!” We want to walk in the healing love of a United Nation under God, but in order for civil unity to exist we must stand together on common ground which is the foundation of commUNITY!

Father God, as we work our way back to unbiased respect and decency for all men and women despite the things that makes us different including our vaccination status, we thank You for Your grace and mercy which are both brand new everyday. In Jesus name, please continue to navigate (‘US’) Your people out of this valley of division and unto the mountaintop of unity, prayer, and praise!! Amen and amen!

Undoubtedly, we all know that God is good. But what does that truly mean……that God is good?

The more I read and studied His word in the Bible, the more one central concept seemed to jump out: God’s goodness conveys His generosity (grace and mercy). His goodness means far more than His generosity, but it certainly includes His infinitely generous attitude toward us ( 1 Chronicles 16:34, Ezra 3:11, Psalm 23:6, Psalm 145:9, James 1:17, Psalm 34:8).

By divine nature, God longs to bring joy and blessing to all His creatures. There are several scriptures (refer to above) that repeatedly presents goodness as a core quality of our Lord, but the one verse I will highlight today comes out of Nahum 1:7, “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.”

As I mentioned, God is good! You may add, “all the time” and to that, I will insert even when things are not!

#GodIsGoodEvenWhenThingsAreNot

There’s no time like the present! If you don’t know God it’s time for you to make that turn today because as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west Jesus is coming back!

I John 1:9 says, “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”

Jesus is paid it all and He is ready to forgive you….all you have to do is make the turn!

Are you ready???

#TheTimeIsNow

God wanted to assure Moses and Israel that He would become what they would need Him to become. In using the words “I AM THAT, I AM,” God used an expression to reveal to Moses a promise and pledge found in His name.

This promise found in the name of God was extended to the world of mankind. God will become what we need Him to become – an architect for the plan of salvation that will bring us back into harmony with Him.

I don’t know your plight today, but God knows! Let I AM, THAT I AM become whatever you need Him to become in your life or situation and I guarantee to you He will see you out and/or bring you through just like He did for Moses and the children of Israel!

We are in a season of perseverance and now is not to time to give up! After the disciples had been out fishing all day and night their net kept coming up empty!

Most avid fishermen know that if you are fishing in a spot that is dry, the next step to take is to move to another spot!

Noticed that Jesus didn’t tell the disciples to move locations or to bring the boat in. In fact, He wasn’t even sympathetic to the fact they were drained, tired, frustrated, and most likely hungry and thirsty!

In John 21:6-8, Jesus responded to their fishing dilemma empathetically and prophetically by simply instructed them to persevere and by testing their faith to cast their net to the right of their boat.

In short, the disciples obeyed Jesus’ command and their catch was so big and so plentiful they couldn’t even haul it all back to shore.

I know I am speaking to myself, but I don’t know who is else I am speaking to today. If that’s you I say to you in my Jesus voice; to cast your net on the right side of your boat because what you need is closer than you think and BTW, God has already provided the fish………

#TimeToCastOnTheRight

Psalm 34:8-10 says, “Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Fear the LORD, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who seek [trust] in the LORD will lack no good thing.”

We can certainly trust in these words spoken by David because Jesus backed them up in Matthew 6:33 by says, “Seek [trust in] the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.”

I don’t know about you, but as for me and my house we will serve [seek] the Lord (Joshua 24:15) because I know that, “Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow (James 1:17).”

The theme or emphasis in this word of encouragement is for you to, “Seek the LORD while you can find Him. Call on him now while He is near (Isaiah 55:6).”
