You Speak God's Word
In Gene Edward Veith’s book, “The Spirituality of the Cross” he writes, “Every proclamation of the Gospel, whether in a sermon or in a layperson’s informal witnessing to a friend, is a dissemination of God’s Word. This oral word, insofar as it is the message of the Bible, is God’s Word delivered by a human voice… Just as God is not ashamed to inspire the utterances of fallen human beings, to have His truths written in human language with paper and ink, He is not ashamed to have His Word communicated by the halting speech of His followers… God the Holy Spirit promises to be at work whenever His Word is spoken.”
What a humbling thought, that is, isn’t it? That God would use you and me to speak His word to the world?
In Isaiah, the Lord tells us, “My word that goes out from my mouth will not return empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
Perhaps you’ve been nervous about sharing the Good News. You’ve thought, ‘what could I possibly have to say?’ But God has chosen you to speak to the world through human language.
With whom can you share God’s Word today?
“God has chosen you to speak to the world through human language. With whom can you share God’s Word today?”
Isaiah 55:11
“so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
