Good preaching does its hearers good.
God's Word does not return to Him empty. It accomplishes the purpose for which He sent it (Isaiah 55:11). Often, we feel like God's Word returns to us empty. It never returns to Him empty. Wherever God's Word is preached in the power of the Holy Spirit, God is at work. He is doing more than we realize. Some may refuse to listen to the voice of the Spirit - but He keeps on speaking to them, calling them to return to the Lord and receive His free gift of salvation (Isaiah 55;6-7). Let us pray that the Word of God will be spoken in the power of the Spirit of God - "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul" (Psalm 19:7).
