HE IS NEAR. Click and read.

 

The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifieth; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my mine adversary? Let him come near to me. (Isaiah 50: 4, 7-8)

Have you ever been around anyone who verbally misfires around you? You feel the ground should open up and you take a quick dive. Or have ever found yourself in a gathering where all around are gathered to condole with the loss of someone dear and in the midst of it all, one person cracks an unnecessary joke? I can just imagine the look on people’s faces. Our walk with God does not just bring us grace and mercy but extends to every area of our lives – physically, spiritually, socially, financially and the likes. This growth experience happens with time as we walk with the Lord and follow His lead. He has said that He wishes above all things that we should prosper; and be in good health even as our soul prospers.

Like the writer declares, “The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary:he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.” It is the Lord’s desire that our tongue can be learned to point of mastering the art of speaking to any category of persons we come across even the weary. “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”(Proverbs 25:11).We are human are prone to make mistakes. The art of speaking right does not come overnight but with constant practice. I pray that we will continually yield to the Holy Spirit to work in us daily in Jesus name.

“For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know I shall not be ashamed.” Have you watched little children brag? That is what the first part of this verse is allowing you to experience. Pause a while and say it to yourself. “The Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: “I say a big Amen to that declaration in my life. I will not be confounded. You will not be confounded. It is always important to assure yourself of who is backing you up as you go through life. His credentials speak loudly. He is the Maker of heaven and earth; He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth. He founded the earth on His word. He is Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent. He is Faithful and True. Awesome! Need I say more?

“He is near that justifieth; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is my mine adversary? Let him come near to me.” God is our justifier. He stands by us with good reason for what we have done. Who will contend with you when God himself is standing near you? Who is the adversary? God is right there to justify from any wicked accusations. Get excited already and pray a prayer of thanksgiving.
