Words That Last Forever

"As for Me, this is My covenant with them," says the LORD: "My Spirit who is on you, and My words that I have put in your mouth, will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouth of your children, or from the mouth of your children's children, from now on and forever," says the LORD. Isaiah 59:21 HCSB

What a powerful statement, a promise—God’s words, His Holy Spirit and His covenant with His chosen people will not go away. Can we claim that promise along with the Israelites? We are “brother” of Christ—adopted by God. So I think that we can claim this promise also. Certainly the Holy Spirit is in all those who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, as their person Savior and Redeemer. So we can count on being blessed to speak God’s words forever…His words will not depart from your mouth. That is a promise that is both comforting and overwhelming. We often ask for boldness to speak God’s words to others…and here is a promise hidden away in Isaiah that God’s words will not depart from our mouths. That means we’ll always have His words to speak. Hurrah! Do you have an opportunity to speak God’s words today? There might be one…keep alert…be ready. …Honor the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you. 1 Peter 3:15 HCSB. Be ready to give a defense—to speak up and not be ashamed of the Gospel. God has given you a hope for your future with Him. Tell others what God has done for you. The little things, as well as the big things. Don’t you want to be sure that as many other people as possible are headed to heaven, too? 

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, give me not only the opportunity to speak up for You, the words to speak, the proper timing, but also the sensitivity to express just the appropriate words at precisely the right time. Speak through me, for it is not me...but You. It is all about You, God.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KIM! BLESSINGS AND LOVE.
