The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak in season to him who is weary. He wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. Isaiah 50:4
What a rich word today. I was taken aback by its content and quite frankly, this scripture should be every believer's testimony, “that I am learned of God and my God has given me words to speak because His Word is hidden in my heart; because early in the morning I’ve heard his Voice and listened to His instruction, so that I may know how and when to speak a word in season to them who are weary, tired and worn. We should be able to encourage and give hope; comfort and uphold those who have not come into the knowledge or the understanding of His will for their lives or not yet experienced His power in their walk. Isaiah was a perfect example, the perfect person to pen these words. The book of Isaiah, the last 27 chapters is a message of comfort and hope. He is speaking to the obedience of Christ, futuristically of course.
The truth of the matter is ... in order to teach, one first must learn. That is the general rule of thumb. After one has learned, then one can and should speak. Isaiah was qualified by God in the prophetic and called so that he could speak a word to the children of Israel during that time. Just as were the disciples, who spent everyday with Jesus being taught. They learned from the learned because we know that Christ was the Master Teacher, He was the Word and in enabled them to go out and speak a word among the people; a people that needed to hear a word from the Lord. As being the modern day disciples of Christ, we must spend time with the Lord and we should study the Word in order that we ourselves are approved unto God. Getting a clear and concise understanding of the Word in our heart so that we can speak boldly what thus said the Lord at any time and in any situation.
Many, including us as believers, are facing times of trouble, loss of jobs, fallen economy, struggling with mortgages, financial hardships, heartaches, and that just names a few. Those that have been given a word should be able to speak that word or when prompted by the Lord to speak a word. As believers would should be able to give someone an answer for the hope that is in us and especially those believers who heed to the call early in the morning; waiting and listening to hear a word from God and while praying are voicing, “show me Lord the who, what, how, and where today; lead me or lead someone in my path that you want me to speak a word to.” Someone who needs to hear a word, so that I can tell them, “He is an ever present help in the time of need.”
Just like Isaiah, we must use the power of the Word to give strength to them that need it. We should be able to speak a Word in every season of life that someone may be going through. A kind word, a gentle word, a comforting word, or a word of wisdom can provoke change and energize hearts. A word that has power to restore, rejuvenate, renew, and revitalize life, as well as heal, deliver and set free!
Someone needs to hear a word today, speak a word into their season!
Until the morning, be blessed,
