There's a Verse for That!

Greetings~

Isaiah 55:10-11 “The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with My Word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it."

In these two verses God makes four mighty statements about His Word:  (1) He sends it out, (2) It always produces fruit, (3) It will accomplish what He wants it to, and (4) It will prosper everywhere He sends it.

If only we could send out His Word.  If only we could initiate the healing, help, love, comfort, joy, peace, faith, hope, and protection that is the prosperous result of coming into contact with God's word.  Oh my goodness! Wait a second! When we pray that is exactly what we are doing. And particularly, when we pray scripture directly over our situation, we can rest assured that something good will come from it.

Yesterday my sister had surgery, and she is 100% A-Okay.  AMEN. In the weeks leading up to her surgery, the verses above were front and center in my mind.  I prayed many prayers for her to have a successful surgery. 

Now that she is in recovery I am praying this verse over her based on Psalm 41:3 (The Message Version): “My sister is recovering in bed, be her nurse and nurse her back to health.”

It feels great to pray a verse that is specific to the concern. And I am holding onto God’s promise that it is producing something good in her life!

What's on your mind today? I promise you there's a verse for that. Check out this link: http://www.openbible.info/topics  Visit this website, type in a word like love, health, peace, children, marriage, discouragement, loneliness, etc…and several verses in the Bible on that topic will pop up and bless you.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Send Your word our way. We know the things You want to accomplish are always for our good. We need and desire good fruit produced in our lives. In Jesus' name, AMEN~
