God’s Word Has Self-Fulfilling Power
Adapted from Mornings with God
For as [surely as] the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring forth, so [surely] the Lord God will cause rightness and justice and praise to spring forth before all the nations [through the self-fulfilling power of His word].
When a farmer plants a seed in the ground, that seed contains everything needed to reproduce a plant just like the one the seed came from. The seed has self-fulfilling power. All the farmer needs to do is water the seed and keep the weeds from choking the life out of it, and the seed does the rest.
The Word of God functions the same way. It has self-fulfilling power. When it is planted in our hearts and we water it with our faith and keep the weeds (sin) out of our lives, we will see amazing things develop simply from believing God’s Word.
Faith is amazing. It is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV). God created everything we see in the world from nothing, and He will do the same for us as we believe and trust in His Word.
When we put a tomato seed in the ground, we will get tomatoes, and likewise, when we put our faith in God’s Word, we will get what it promises.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me plant Your Word in my heart and water it with faith. I trust in Your promises and believe You will bring them to life in me. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
