Light for My Path Daily Devotion

Bible Reading

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.  (Isaiah 55:10-11 ESV)

Hymn   ELH 228  Almighty God, Thy Word Is Cast

Almighty God, Thy Word is cast
Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heaven descend
And righteous fruits abound.
Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove,
But give it root in every heart
To bring forth fruits of love.

Let not the world’s deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundredfold
The fruits of peace and joy.
Oft as the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestow
That all whose souls the truth receive
Its saving power may know.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to trust that when Your Word is spoken or read, it always has an effect.  When I see others reject Your truth, teach me to pray for them, that they too may know the peace and joy found through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ.  In His name I pray.  Amen.
