Luke 3:18
‘There was a lot more of this- words that gave strength to the people. Words that put heart in them. The Message!’
Observation
John powerfully goes around speaking words of truth; of power; of Kingdom realities. The people needed to hear these life-giving words and they had opportunity to be transformed by them.
Application
Words do bring life. I have seen it take place. When there has been destitute places, the word of God has brought hope. When there has been confusion, the life giving Word has shed light and clarity. I need to be vigilant and keep careful guard over my mouth, that only words of life, power and kingdom would pass my lips and result in transformation.
Prayer
Lord, you know how easy it is for me to slip. Yet, still you are patient with me, loving me so much to see transformation occur in my life. Help me be the spokesperson you need. One that would declare truth in times of contradiction, proclaim life where death lingers, bring clarity where confusion clouds judgment and to speak Kingdom power in the lives of your people. Purify me I pray. I need your wisdom and guidance. You are my source. And I am yours.
Amen
