Encouraging Words

Isaiah 50:4

"The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned." 

If you are going to be a Christian who helps others, then saying the right thing at the right time is very important.  How many times in your life has there been someone who said the right thing at the very time that you needed it?  When this happened, it made your day brighter.  On the other hand, how many times have you said something at the wrong time only to wish you had not said what you did?  Speaking a word in season is an important part of helping others. 

If you are going to be like Christ and speak "a word in season to him that is weary," then you must spend time learning the Word of God.  You will not have the "tongue of the learned" if you don't spend time learning the Word of God. 

If you are going to be a Christian who speaks "a word in season," then you need the guidance of God to say the right words at the right time.  Every day you need to pray and ask God to guide every word that you speak.

Know when to speak up to use words of encouragement.

Daily ask God to help you speak a "word in season" to those who have been wearied from trials and sin.
