Isaiah 55: 11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Mark 4:8And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
Mark 4:14The sower soweth the word.
The words that we speak can bring life or death, blessing or cursing. We must consider our words because they are like seeds that are sown. They will bring forth a crop. Right now in our neighbourhoods dandelions are growing and their fluffy white balls are blowing all over people`s yards. The truth is they are seed pods being scattered on the winds.
The words we speak are seed pods. We must sow them wisely.The sower in the parable of the sower was sowing everywhere – on rocky ground, and thorny ground and on good ground. The sower had a purpose and that purpose was to sow the word. We too should have a determination and a purpose as we sow.
Kind words, loving words, words that produce the blessing of Abraham, words that produce faith, words that encourage or transform or give hope…these are our precious seed. God`s Word is the seed of ever lasting life. Is we speak God`s word, we have an opportunity to be used by God to touch someone`s life for eternity.
It is important for us to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and be lead by God as we are speaking with somebody. God looks at the heart of the person. He can quicken us to speak words, that will touch the heart of that person and impact him by turning him to Christ. We can make a difference. We can be vessels used by God to pour forth life.
PRAYERÂ God help me to have the Word to give today. As I am speaking with people, show me their hearts and quicken the scriptures to me so that I might sow something of eternal life. Show me who to encourage. Show me who to bless. Put your words in my mouth so that they will not return void – but accomplish the thing that I send to do – and You LORD direct my sowing. Amen.
