How To Speak / by Dale Decker

The Lord God has given Me
the tongue of the learned
that I should know how to speak
a word in season to him who is weary.
— Isaiah the Prophet concerning the Messiah

What did Jesus say? “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gently and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Responsive Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for the rest we have in Jesus, your Son. May we also, like him, speak a word in season to those who are weary, proclaiming salvation through Jesus Christ to all who will believe. May our words be gracious and well-seasoned that we might know how we ought to speak to each person and give an answer for the hope that lies within us, through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
