God's Word never returns void

Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us. To him who by means of His power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of. (Ephesians 3:20) I will give thanks and praise the LORD, with all my heart;

I will tell aloud all Your wonders and marvelous deeds.

I will rejoice and exult in you;

I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You,

For You, O LORD, have not abandoned those who seek You. (Psalm 9:1-2,10) Who is the man who fears the LORD [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with submissive wonder]?

He will teach him [through His word] in the way he should choose.

His soul will dwell in prosperity and goodness,

And his descendants will inherit the land.

The secret [of the wise counsel] of the LORD is for those who fear Him,

And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning. (Psalm 25:12-14) The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the LORD will be exalted and safe. Many seek the ruler’s favor,

But justice for man comes from the LORD.

An unjust man is repulsive to the righteous,

And he who is upright in the way [of the LORD] is repulsive to the wicked. (Proverbs 29:25-27) Let the wicked leave (behind) his way

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

And let him return to the LORD,

And He will have compassion (mercy) on him,

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways

And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.

“For as the rain and snow come down from heaven,

And do not return there without watering the earth,

Making it bear and sprout,

And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater.

So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. (Jeremiah 55:7-11) God's Word never returns without having fulfilled its purpose.
