“The Joy of a Word Spoken In Season”

word in due season
by Dona Hake
 
 
 How odd it would be  to wake up tomorrow morning , and find it snowing.    The region in which I live summer is almost over but snow still would not be welcome.  Everything has it’s proper time and season here on the earth.    God has an order and reason for the seasons in every region on this big, great Earth.  So it is with our words, He has a proper time and season in which they are to be spoken.  One word spoken at one time may be perfectly fitting yet in another moment it may be entirely unacceptable, and maybe even offensive. 
 
 
 
Today I just want to focus on the importance of  speaking words at the proper time.  God desires that we embrace His wisdom that our thoughts and words would be perfectly ordered by Him.  I have said this many times.  “Just because you are thinking something does not mean it should be spoken.”    God desires that we choose our words wisely and thoughtfully.   Let us look for ways to minister grace to the hearers of our words.  Sometimes we may never have any idea how much our words especially those of encouragement may bless the heart of another.
 
 
 
 
“A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of
praise after success.”

I love the feeling of knowing that my words whether they be advice or encouragement were exactly what an individual needed to hear.  It is just such a rewarding feeling.   Think about blessing those around you with words that are uplifting and full of His grace.  

 

 

 

 

 

Proverbs 15:23 
“People enjoy giving ·good advice [ a right reply].
Saying the right word at the right time is so pleasing.”
