“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. 10“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, 11So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it". Isaiah 55:8-11 NKJV
God's Word is a seed and when He plants it, it is certain to come about. He plants the seed and just like the rain and snow are never wasted but accomplish His purposes, so His Word never fails. Let us remember that in the beginning He said to a dark and isolated world, 'Let there be light, and there was light.' Gen 1:3. The Word of God stands forever. We never know how God will use even a casual word of witness to plant and water the seed in someone's heart. We may say something to an unbeliever and as it is received into His or Her heart, it explodes with life - the seed erupts and the person miraculously is saved. So therefore, don't waste your words and don't think that what you do say is wasted, because it isn't.
Notice the word 'For' in verse 8 of our text. God is saying that His thoughts are way above ours. What we struggle with thinking it is not possible, it is a breeze with God because, He speaks from a faith-filled standpoint and what He says is certain to come about. We often think that we know best but when we do, we are fooling ourselves because we could never reach His height. But, when we allow Him to reign within our hearts and only say and do what He wants, we become full of life-giving seed.
When we pray with someone for healing or for another reason, we expect instant results and so we should. This is because, when we are praying the way God wants us to - in the spirit, even though there appears to be no evidence of answered prayer, in the heavenlies there is and it will happen very soon (2 Cor 4:18). We shouldn't be walking in the temporary but in the Spirit - the eternal. When we are, we will be certain about the end result.
Therefore, let us take a closer step to God and see things through the spiritual instead of in the natural. When we do, we will begin to be certain about the seeds that we sow.
