READ: Isaiah 50:4-5
Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light. Matthew 10:27
People have some needs that are excruciatingly deep. Poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote, Never morning wore to evening, but some heart did break.
We find ourselves in conversation at times with heartbroken friends and may feel at an utter loss to know what to say. How can we speak a word in season to him who is weary, as it says in Isaiah 50:4?
Telling people what human teachers have taught us may have some impact on them. But the most helpful or persuasive words are spoken by those who are taught by the Lord Himself.
Thats why its essential for us to sit at Jesus feet and learn from Him. The more we receive from Him, the more we have to give to others. George MacDonald pictures this time with the Lord as having a chamber in God Himself. He continues: Out of [that] chamber ... man has to bring
revelation and strength for his brethren. This is that for which he was made.
Its through our thoughtful and prayerful Bible study, reading, and quiet meditation that God speaks to our hearts. He gives us the tongue of the learned (Isa. 50:4) so that we have something to share with those who are in the depths of despair. David H. Roper
The comfort God has given us
He wants us all to share
With others who, with broken hearts,
Are caught in deep despair. Sper
Listen to Gods heart, then speak from your heart to others.
