Tuesday

Scripture lesson: Isaiah 55:10-13 God speaks and things happen

Time to reflect: Just as rain causes things to grow, when God intends for something to happen it is just as inevitable.

Moving through the day: Think and pray about the idea that God is actually in control of the universe – that is not just all mechanical processes.

Scripture:

^{As the rain and the snow
       come down from heaven,
       and do not return to it
       without watering the earth
       and making it bud and flourish,
       so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,}

so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
       It will not return to me empty,
       but will accomplish what I desire
       and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

  You will go out in joy
       and be led forth in peace;
       the mountains and hills
       will burst into song before you,
       and all the trees of the field
       will clap their hands.

  Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree,
       and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
       This will be for the LORD's renown,
       for an everlasting sign,
       which will not be destroyed."
