Subject: Isaiah 55:11 Meditating on the Word (Revised)

Isaiah 55:11 Meditating on the Word


Isaiah 55:11 so shall My Word be that goes out from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, but It shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent It.

This verse promises that Scripture succeeds in a purpose that the Scripture is sent to accomplish. Therefore by faith a saint should fully receive Scripture that is sent to him or her as being sent to succeed in a certain purpose. Meditating on Scripture that promises beneficial results is an activity that should be paired firmly and directly with Isaiah 55:11 so that meditating on helpful Scripture is an activity that is characterized by expectation that a purpose will be accomplished, since Isaiah 55:11 tell us that that is what Scripture is exactly sent to do.

There are various ways to meditate. Looking around on youtube for a certain form or approach will probably be better than me trying to give any directions when youtube.com probably has many examples for a person to try out (books and internet written articles also might give directions on the form and approach to meditating). The youtube videos that say they are Christian forms of meditation probably are the best ones to look at. I know having a certain place with a certain level of comfort usually is important for effective meditating. I also know having the best time carved out to meditate might not be always possible. So with time and place a person has to judge whether starting and persevering in "not so great" circumstances is what has to be done rather than aiming for "the best" situation for meditation.

These are the verses that seem to have important value for connecting with Isaiah 55:11 in regular meditation. It would probably be best to sort of memorize these more and more and not read them when meditating - just recall from memory without straining. You might have to start with a few that are easy to recall and gradually add others at a reasonable pace over several weeks until most of these verses can easily come to mind when in meditation:
