✨ 2025 Sunday Theme: Trust
📖 Scripture
Isaiah 55:11 (NIV)
“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.”
📚 Background
Isaiah 55 is a chapter of invitation—God calls His people to come, listen, and receive His abundant promises. Verse 11 emphasizes the certainty of God’s word: it is living, active, and effective. Unlike human words that may falter or fade, God’s word always fulfills its purpose. This verse is a declaration of divine trustworthiness, reminding us that when God speaks, His promises stand firm.
💬 Devotional
I remember a season when I clung to a promise from Scripture, unsure if I’d ever see it fulfilled. I wrote it on a sticky note and placed it on my desk, reading it daily as both prayer and reminder. Months later, when the answer came, I realized God’s word had been working all along—quietly, faithfully, accomplishing what He intended.
Isaiah 55:11 reminds us that God’s word is not fragile. It doesn’t depend on our strength or timing. At the Table of Fulfilled Promises, we are invited to trust that His word will accomplish its purpose—even when we cannot yet see the outcome. Trust means resting in the certainty that God’s promises are not empty—they are alive, powerful, and sure.
