Think Before Speaking

Weary and Burdened

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.11.28.NASB1995‭‭

I always looked at this verse as being addressed to God’s children until this weekend at church I noticed it could also be a call to salvation.
Come to Me, says Jesus, all you who are weary from and heavy laden with sin. I will give you rest from this world. But it doesn’t stop there . . .

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew‬ ‭11:29‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.11.29.NASB1995‭‭

Take My yoke. Take My Spirit who will teach you all things you need to know to follow Me. You will find peace and rest in Me.

‭‭For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew‬ ‭11:30‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.11.30.NASB1995

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
John‬ ‭14:26‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.14.26.NASB1995

🌹But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
John‬ ‭16:13‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.16.13.NASB1995

Glory to God for making a way to experience peace in a chaotic world!

He Will Speak

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I (Jesus) go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. John‬ ‭16:7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.16.7.NASB1995


But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. John‬ ‭16:13 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.16.13.NASB1995


Here, Jesus is speaking to His disciples about the Holy Spirit. This message is also for every born again believer. This message is good news for the believer. Through the Holy Spirit we can hear the voice of God. “whatever He hears, He will speak”. The Holy Spirit will speak truth that guides us.

Now that is reassuring good news. Are you listening?

🌹He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.
John‬ ‭16:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Is

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
Zechariah 4:6b NASB

“But by My Spirit”

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord, “Who execute a plan, but not Mine, And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add sin to sin;”
Isaiah 30:1 NASB

“but not of My Spirit,”

“Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the Lord.”
Jeremiah 17:5 NASB

We make plans. We put our trust in alliances that are not of God. We trust in our own intellect, our own weak strengths. But did not God give us His Spirit to teach, guide, protect, strengthen by His power and might? Our hearts are turned away when we trust in anything or anyone other than the Lord Himself.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord And whose trust is the Lord.”
Jeremiah 17:7 NASB

Not only trusting IN Him but whose trust IS Him.

Is: be: continuous action

🌹 Is your life demonstrating that God IS your trust?

Guide Me

Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. — Acts 8:30-31

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. — John 14:26

If Jesus is your Savior and Lord you are never without the Teacher. Don’t be afraid. Open your Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.

But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. — John 16:13

Word of Comfort

Remember [fervently] the word and promise to Your servant, in which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort and consolation in my affliction: that Your word has revived me and given me life. — Psalm 119:49-50        When I have [earnestly] recalled Your ordinances from of old, O Lord, I have taken comfort. — Psalm 119:52

Where do you turn to for comfort? Your best friend? Mom? Dad? Brother? Sister?

The Psalmist here prays to God for comfort. He reminds God to remember (or was he reminding himself) His word and promises given to him, His servant. “Your word causes me to hope”. For those with no hope, there is no comfort.

God’s word is able to comfort and revive. It gives life. The Word encourages, inspires, guides, and gives us hope. It tells of a faithful friend who is always there for us, listens to all we have to share with Him — our pains, struggles, anger, hurt, as well as our joys, triumphs, and dreams. He gives us life.

Go to Jesus first. He knows what you need and when you seek comfort He finds just the right way and time to bring you comfort. It may be with a phone call or a visit from a friend. He cares for you more than anyone you will ever know. Let us trust Him with our lives and He will bless it. We will be comforted.

Continually seeking Him,

Sharon
