Cycles of blessing! Just as the clock strikes twelve to begin a new day, then ends its day at 11:59:59, before striking twelve to begin another new day, so there are cycles of blessings thoughout the word of God. Isaiah 45 has one of those such cycles of blessings. “Drip down, O heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.” Heaven pours down righteousness, the earth opens up, salvation is the fruit of an open earth that produces fruit, and from the fruit comes the springing up of righteousness to seed the clouds again, so they can pour down.

God loves to pour out on us that which will produce something in us, so we can bear fruit and spring up. We do not have a God that speaks to entertain us, He speaks because His words are seeds that produce something in us, in order for something to spring out of us. The more open we are to words God speaks to us through a variety of people and ways, the more seeded we are. This seeds bear fruit of salvation, first in you, then through you for others. When the fruit of salvation springs up, righteousness/justice begins to manifest.

We have heard a lot and seen little. This can be frustrating, I know, but God is not a man that he should lie (Numbers 23:19) and He is going to do what He has been saying He is going to do. It is a cycle of blessing, it is going to bring great joy to us, and it is going to produce in us and through us springs of righteousness and justice. Believe it or not, people like righteousness, for with it comes peace. Wickedness brings fear, anxiety, uncertainty and causes people to act out of character, but God has locked us into a cycle of blessing and righteousness, peace and joy is our portion and will manifest. Mark His words!
