We can share life-changing words to weary people.
I love it when God packs a whole sermon into one Bible verse.
The prophet Isaiah wrote, “The LORD God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning. He awakens my ear to hear as the learned” (Is. 50:4).
What a word for writers.
God wants us to be learners. We keep growing, reading, and learning. If our well runs dry for long, we won’t have anointed words to share with others.
God gives us words to share with weary people. It’s amazing how one word from the right source can change our lives. My shelves are filled with books and magazines that God used at specific points in my life to speak life into me. The Lord knows how to connect the right word with the right person at the needed time.
As we write, we ask God to use our words to encourage weary people – people who need a word from God through our pen.
God wakens us in the morning. Here is a tremendous verse of why God wants us to start the day with Him. Beginning the day in praise, in Scripture meditation, and in prayer, we position ourselves to fix our eyes on God. Sometimes we are the weary ones who need a word from the Lord to encourage us. We start our day with Him, knowing that having words to share with others begins by allowing His Word to soak into our hearts and minds.
God wants us to be listeners before we are writers. We are to “hear as the learned” or “listen like one being taught.” God wants us to develop listening ears. The Holy Spirit walks through life with us. Pay attention to that voice inside. He may give you ideas for future projects, promptings on where to submit your work, or ways to encourage other readers and writers. As we allow God to teach and train us through the winding pathways of life, we grow in our understanding and ability to have words to share with others.
He gives us words in season to share with fellow pilgrims. Let’s stay on the journey together.

amen Great encouragement. I start my day with the question, “What do you have for your servant today, Lord?” There have been days where “my” schedule has been drastically changed by an adventure from God. I have been blessed by changing my morning prayer.
