When God Speaks Bible in a Year: Lamentations 1–2 Hebrews 10:1–18 So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return empty. Isaiah 55:11 Today's Scripture & Insight: Isaiah 55:10– Lily, a Bible translator, was flying home to her country when she was detained at the airport. Her mobile phone was searched, and when the officials found an audio copy of the New Testament on it, they confiscated the phone and questioned her for two hours. At one point they asked her to the Scripture app, which happened be set at Matthew 7:1–2: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Hearing these words in his own language, one of the officers turned pale. Later, she was released and no further action was taken. We don’t know what happened in that official’s heart at the airport, but we know that the “word that goes out from [God’s] mouth” accomplishes what He desires (Isaiah 55:11). Isaiah prophesied these words of hope to God’s people in exile, assuring them that even as the rain and snow make the earth bud and grow, so too what goes “out from [His] mouth” achieves His purposes (vv. 10–11). We can read this passage to bolster our confidence in God. When we’re facing unyielding circumstances, such as Lily with the airport officials, may we trust that God is working—even when we don’t see the final outcome. Reflect & Pray When was the last time you saw God at work? How have you received God’s love through the words He's declared? Heavenly Father, thank You for what You’ve revealed, which brings me hope, peace, and love. Help me to grow in my love for You.

Sometimes it is hard, but I keep reminding myself that even when I don't see it or understand, that God working. I often say that nothing catches God by surprise. It is helpful for me to find a Scripture and meditate on it, or sometimes, He just seems to drop one into my spirit at the right time. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Yes, when we have an attentive ear, God drops a comforting word into our spirit, just at the right moment. I've experienced that many times. I think adversity would be unbearable without God's help...  Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)
