Sowing 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; my word shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.

My word goes forth...achieving the end for which I sent it.
The word of the Lord is powerful and purposeful.
It has a meaning and place as important as any natural essential life giving process. It is the living water the fruit of the earth the living bread. There is a message sent out by God for the call to follow God's will.
The only response that is fitting is to hear and do God's will.
There are other choices but there is a natural call from God to follow
that is more important than any other choice.

It is the life giving way. It is as natural as the rain falling, the rain gives life to the earth nurtures the seed which feeds the one who heres the word and returns the love to God that came so easily without asking. This is the reason I am here to return to God to be fruitful with what God has gifted to me.
