Isaiah God Promised Harvest Time

The Lord says, “My thoughts are not like your thoughts. Your ways are not like my ways. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9 NCV

We do not always know God’s thoughts. We do not always understand the purpose of God’s ways. But we learn to trust Him and His great wisdom in all that He does. Our desire is to abide in His Word and continue responding to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Our hearts will continue to be renewed and be changed by seeking Him. Our thoughts and our ways will be conformed into the likeness of Christ. It leads to the richness of God’s grace upon us when we endure all things for Christ as He has endured all things for us.

“Rain and snow fall from the sky and don’t return without watering the ground. They cause the plants to sprout and grow, making seeds for the farmer and bread for the people. The same true of the word I speak. They will not return to me empty. They make the things happen that I want to happen, and they succeed in doing what I send them to do. So you will go out with joy and be led out in peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees in the fields will clap their hands. Large cypress trees will grows where the thornbushes were. Myrtle trees will grow where weeds were. These things will be a reminder of the Lord’s promise, and this reminder will never be destroyed.” Isaiah 55:10-13 NCV

Have you ever heard of rain or snow that must come down, changed their minds and go back up to the clouds? No, we don’t because it is the nature’s law that rain must come down and watered the earth. So is God’s Word, when He speaks, His Word are seeds that goes into our hearts. The Holy Spirit watered the seed to grow into our hearts. We harvest the blessings and the healings from God’s promised. Seed-sowing always bring a harvest. God will never fail us or let us down when we remember that God’s Word can never go back to Him empty. God knows best and He loves us enough to do it His ways, not ours. He is bigger than our needs and wiser than our problems. Let’s trust our Heavenly Father.
