The
Lord God Himself has given to me the tongue of His well-trained student so that
I will know how to encourage and embolden those who are weary with my words.
(Isaiah 50:4)
Do
your words give courage to those who depend upon you? Are they filled with hope
and optimism? Do you inspire a confidence that helps them to overcome?
God’s
word through Isaiah points clearly to Jesus the Messiah. He lived this passage.
Each person who came to Jesus found understanding and empathy. Jesus spoke
plainly, and He brought hope with words that were true and alive. As God calls
you to lead His people, He will also provide the well-trained tongue you need
to encourage and strengthen the weary people who follow with you. You must will
to give your life to the work of building relationships. This investment of
time and energy allows you to know, understand, and empathize with your people.
You are also called to spend your time, and invest your other resources to be
sure that this word reaches the far corners of your community.
It takes courage and
boldness to allow God to speak through you, so you must spend time with Him to
become a well-trained student.
