Dear Diary,
#Whose_Mouth_Whose_Words?
#Shut_Down_the_Motormouth
On my day 12 of the
#40Day_Zip_it_Challenge I learned that the God who made the mouth is able to
to put in it the appropriate words to speak in every circumstance.Whether a stutterer or
diffident, God is sufficient for us, no matter what real or imagined
inadequacies we have.
In Exodus 4:10-12, Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never
been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I
am slow of speech and tongue. The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who
makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it
not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to
say.”
God
told Jeremiah, “Before I formed
you in the womb I knew you, before you were
born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations,” Jeremiah
1:5. But Jeremiah, had a different opinion, “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” Jeremiah said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young,” v.6.
I love the LORD’s response, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to
everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do
not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,”
declares the Lord. Then the Lord reached
out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in
your mouth,” v.6-9.
Now, how many of us feel like Moses and/or
Jeremiah? Probably you feel you can’t speak up because you’re not eloquent.
Maybe the situation you’re supposed to speak to frightens you. Well, thing is,
God made your mouth and if He says you can do it, He means it. Maybe, you’re
bankrupt of the appropriate words to speak, I just want to tell you that He who
made the most eloquent mouths is able to give you the right words; He is also
able to make your words authoritative so just depend on Him.
