The Hebrew word “esher” means blessed and happy. It is found in the Old Testament, often in the Psalms and Proverbs. It implies fulfillment, satisfaction and completion. Let’s look at how to achieve this in today’s edition of FaithWalk: Courage for the Journey.
Read Carefully!
“Happy [blessed] are you who sow beside all waters.”
(Isaiah 32:20 ESV)
“The River of Sovereignty” is flowing past every person’s life. This means that everyone is invited to plant their lives by the “River” and enjoy its benefits.
Spiritually speaking, everyone is planting seeds either by the water or in the desert.
Keep in mind that once seeds are planted, they are no longer seen. What will appear first are tender shoots that grow into trees bearing fruit. Those who plant by the “River” will sit in the shade enjoying sweet tasting fruit. Those who plant in the desert will end up witnessing the growth of fruitless sage brush. This is true of both people and nations.
Isaiah 32:6 reveals the mournful results of planting in the desert. It reads, “For the fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the Lord, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink.”
Isaiah says this empty and parched condition will continue…”until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust[a] forever.
My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
And it will hail when the forest falls down,
and the city will be utterly laid low.
Happy are you who sow beside all waters,
who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free” (Isaiah 32”15-20).
The “The River of Sovereignty” is God Himself. And when He pours out His Spirit, all is transformed from fruitless bushes to productive trees producing life-giving fruit.
There is a tendency in all of us to drift into the desert. The hymnwriter expressed it best, “…prone to wonder, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love.” (Robert Robinson). Waste no time in the desert. Stay productive by the “River” and in due season you will see fruit emerge that only God can produce.??
Always remember, Immanuel, God is with you!
