The Power of the Spoken Word

Word:

Psalm 19:14 (NLT2) 

 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

Reflection:

Do you realize the power of the spoken word? Listen to what the Bible says about the speech of the disciples of Christ.

John 8:31 (NLT2) 

 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 

James 1:19 (NLT2) 

 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. 

Are you able to tolerate silence in a conversation with others? It’s a discipline worthy of knowing and doing. If you need help in the doing of the will of God, support is just a prayer away.

Prayer:

Father, I am so blessed by the forever love and forgiveness, amazing grace, and tender mercies that are new every morning. 

Father, I honor you in all your generous thoughts and deeds of kindness I continually receive from you.

Father, quicken and align my life to demonstrate the life of your darling son, Jesus the Messiah of God.

The Word of God Speaks, and God’s People Listen and Obey

Today I am changing the format of the presentation of the Devotional that I have been writing for over 18 years.

I will not be writing five days a week unless that LORD gives me something more to say.  I just published my first devotional book.  Information about the book is found at the bottom of this page in the SIGNATURE BOX. I’m also writing a journal daily and will see with the unfolding of time if a second book will be the fruit of my labor together with our LORD.

I am deeply concerned about the division in my homeland; the United States of America. If you are citizens of another country, I believe that you have concerns for your homeland also. The whole world is changing, but our God remains the same.

Numbers 23:19 (NKJV) 

 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? 

One of my mentors in leadership and writing is John Maxwell, and he has written a book about it.

Good Leaders Ask Great Questions

All of us are leaders, and the first person we lead is ourselves. I have started asking myself better questions, and I have talked to my family about the importance of asking themselves better questions.

How can we heal the divisions in our country among the left, the moderate, and the right?

What outcome do you have in mind for the position you know hold? Will it result in a better opportunity for everyone?

God Words Speaks:

1 Peter 5:5-7 (NKJV) 

 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 

 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 

 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 

When God’s People Pray the Word:

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) 

 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
