"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.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
Isaiah 55:11-13
I like that whatever the Lord says will happen... and also that what he says in this case is that everything is going to be filled with love and peace... plants rather than weeds, and even the earth itself will be happy. That is what God is working towards, and what will definitely happen. The happy ending is waiting for us, even though we might be in one of the middle chapters where the hero is struggling to go on, or where hope seems lost. Because we know that the Lord is the author of eternal salvation (Hebrews 5:9), all we have to do is keep turning the pages and reading (and participating in) the story, and that is where it will lead. :) Today, let's trust in Christ and work towards the happy ending that he has already written.
