Though this mountain is shaking and the hill is removed,
yet My Unfailing Love for you! will not be shaken;
nor my covenant of peace be removed,
said the Lord Who has compassion on you."
Isa 54:10For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
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. Isaiah 55:10-11.

Come. Come with all your longings. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. The efficacy of nature depicts the rain and the snow coming down from heaven yielding seed and bread. Same for God's Word. It will not return to God empty. Do I have that fixed in my mind today?
Seek the Lord while He may be found. He is near.
His Word is in our mouths.
He will accomplish all that concerns us.
Our Counselor, His Word, will succeed.
We will find Peace that this world cannot give.
Are we looking in the right places?
Romans 10:2 They have a zeal for God but nor according to knowledge. They didn't submit to God's Righteousness. They sought to establish their own. A righteousness based on the law that the person who does the commandments lives by. No, the righteousness based on faith says what? Romans 10:8,9 ~ The word is near you, in your mouth and heart. Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is LORD and God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved.
We have all submitted once and for all to God's Righteousness. But, every day, we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts either the resurrection of Christ or a resurrection of our own ideas. What will it be this day?
