Thoughts for Thursday

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 55:10-11
