Isaiah 55:8-11

Isaiah 55:8-11. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. What comfort there is here for Christian workers, for you who proclaim God’s Word! Yours is no hap-hazard business; look at the "shalls" in this eleventh verse: "It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." When we make known God’s Word, we are not drawing a bow at a venture we are not sowing seed which may or may not beget a harvest: it shall, it shall, it shall. God saith it three times. He is very fond of the number three, the Trinity is constantly revealed throughout both the Old and the New Testaments. When it is not spoken and declared so such doctrinally, you see its practical effect in the frequent threefold utterances of God.
