Morning by Morning, May 18 - Power Words
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart to lead me and guide me in Your steps today (1 Peter 2:21). ...
“But those who prophesy speak to other people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation” (1 Corinthians 14:3). “He who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort” (NKJV).
Your Word says we are to “Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts and especially that (we) may prophesy” (1 Corinthians 14:1). To “prophesy” is to listen for Your heart and speak Your words to build up, to encourage, to comfort, as Your Spirit leads.
Lord, draw me nearer to Your heart, so that my heart beats with Yours. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, so that my spirit abides in communion with Your Spirit. Open my spiritual ears to be more attentive to Your voice. Open my spiritual eyes to see more clearly what You see.
As I seek to follow in Your steps on my journey today wherever You lead, let my thoughts, my desires, my words, my actions be in alignment with Yours. And whenever You give me words to speak from Your heart into the hearts of those I encounter along the way, give me faith and courage to speak Your words full of Spirit and Life as You lead. That’s one of the ways You desire to express Your hope and Your love through my life and through the lives of those who are called by Your name, just as Your Spirit commends us and Your Word commands us:
“Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. 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. Amen” (1 Peter 4:10-11).
So let my words be Your words today, whenever I speak and whenever I serve, with the words and the strength that You supply, that You “may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ.” Let my words be power words, releasing Your power to build up and encourage and comfort, as You receive “the glory and the power” through my life and through Your people “forever and ever. Amen.” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
