Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 22, 2024 (message contributor)
Summary: Proverbs 15:23 - explore the power of timely words and how, through God's wisdom, we can speak life into others' lives.
As Charles Spurgeon once said, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
5. Application: Speak Life Today
How can we apply these truths? First, let us recognise the power of our words and the impact they have on those around us. As we seek God's wisdom, let's also ask for His guidance in when and how to speak. Let us speak truth, but always with love, ensuring our words are seasoned with grace.
Psalm 19:14 (NLT) can be our prayer: “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” As we surrender our words to God, He will use them to bring life and hope to others.
Conclusion and Call to Action
The power of a timely word is extraordinary. It has the capacity to lift someone from the depths of despair or lead them into the presence of God. Today, as followers of Christ, we are called to speak life, to bring hope, and to share the love of God through our words. Let us be intentional in our speech, guided by wisdom, and filled with grace and love.
Invitation to Faith: If you have never experienced the transforming power of God's Word, let today be the day you surrender to Him. Jesus, the Living Word, offers you new life and forgiveness. Come to Him, and let His words of life transform you from the inside out.
