"Pleasant words are like a
honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body" (Proverbs
16:24).
There are no words like
Your Words. They are powerful yet soothing, sharper than a sword yet sweeter
than honey. They are "a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105).
They are mighty for the bringing down of strongholds and creative in the
establishment of Your Kingdom. "For they are life to those that find them, and
healing to all their flesh" (Proverbs 4:22).
As I meditate on Your
written Words, as I listen for Your living Words, I long for the life You infuse
into my spirit and the direction You set into my day. Help me to hear them and
act upon them. But also help me to speak them into my life as I trust them to
shape my life into who I am to become and what I am to do. "I wait for the Lord,
my soul waits, and in His Word I hope" (Psalm 130:5).
And thank You so much for
those who listen for Your voice and share the encouragement and comfort of Your
Words into my heart. They are pleasant to me because they are pleasing to You.
They are like honeycomb, with sweetness to my soul and healing to my body. They
build me up and never tear me down; they encourage me to look forward and not
dwell on the past; they inspire me to more than I could be because they are from
the heart of the One Who wants the best for me (1 Corinthians 14:3).
Now, as I have received so
freely and deeply, let me give in like measure. As I have been filled up with
Your Words, let Your Words now flow out of me. "Whoever speaks must do so as one
speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that
God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ.
To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever" (1 Peter 4:11). In
Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
