Isaiah 55:10-11

"'For as the rain comes down, and the 

snow from heaven,

And do not return there,

But water the earth,

And make it bring forth and bud,

That it may give seed to the sower

And bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth

from My mouth;

It shall not return Me void,

But it shall accomplish what I please,

And it shall prosper in the thing for

which I sent it.'"

The word of God provides all the nourishment to our souls that we desire. It is bread when we're hungry. It is rain to our dry crops. It is constant, and sure. It never ceases to give us what we need, and yet we seek counsel from elsewhere. We try things our own ways and end up finding out that, yes, God knows best. If we had just read this verse, or sought God on that subject, we probably wouldn't put ourselves through half of the struggles that we suffer through. God's word does not return void. What He ordained for it to do, will happen. Not only that, but God promises it will prosper in the ways in which He sent it. The only thing that will truly help. My advice to others is so minimal. It can only reach so far, and accomplish so much. When God's word does everything He intended for it to do.

If anyone seeks me for advice, I long to point them toward God's word, and not tell them something from my own knowledge alone. I aim to address verse references, and stories in the Bible to anyone who needs encouragement or a good word because I know it will go farther than anything I can do for them.
