Open Ears, Ready Mouth

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.
The Lord God has opened my ear; and I was not rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
Isaiah 50 : 4 & 5

Wow!  My tongue speaking wisdom to weary people.  I wanna do that!  Let's get started! 

Okay, tomorrow morning.  First I'll awaken your ear, you cooperate, then I'll give you all the understanding you can handle.  Sometimes the truth will hurt a little; sometimes it will make you squirm and you'll need to change.  Just don't turn your back on Me.  Commit to hear My Word, receive it, love it, and obey it.


...You're awfully quiet. 

The talking part sounded so rewarding, and...easy...

My way won't always be easy, but it's so simple.  Holding your tongue until you've heard from Me will keep you from doing more harm than good.  Open ears first.  And when the time is right, together, we'll lighten somebody's load. 

Help me, Lord...I am not rebellious, and I will not turn away.
