So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
The prophet Isaiah had two overwhelming tasks. He needed to warn Judah about their coming judgment, and proclaim the coming Messiah. His difficulty was compounded by the fact that the people didn’t think they needed a Messiah. They wanted a king. They also didn’t see any coming judgment that could overcome them. God promised Isaiah to keep on preaching His word with confidence. His preaching was accomplishing what God desired, even though Isaiah might not see it. We face the similar challenge today. Proclaim Jesus the Messiah, and warn of the judgment day. Does it seem no one is listening for caring? Keep preaching. God will make His word work, and will succeed.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
