A Word in Season to the Weary
 
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.
 
Here is a prophesy of the Lord Jesus, telling us of His perfect and constant communion with His Father, who  awakened Him each morning, and taught him things straight from the heart of God. All for the purpose of preparing Him for future ministry. He would be given words for the weary. That’s  us folks!
 
Our first record of Jesus after age two is when He is found in the temple conversing with and confounding the doctors of the law.  Throughout His ministry, people wondered at the gracious words that He spoke (Luke 4:22). He never spoke words of condemnation, except to the hypocrites. To the struggling sinner, He always spoke words of life, love and forgiven (John 6:63), always coupled with the admonition to, “Go and sin no more.”
 
We know that He was and is the perfect union of God and man. As a man, He grew tired and weary. He was tempted in the same things as you and I, and yet by the Spirit of God that was within Him, He was without sin.  Because of this, He can identify with our struggles and speak words of life into our hearts.
 
The world is full of weary and downtrodden people who are searching for words that will help them. The church is full of brothers and sisters who need words of encouragement. They have already heard many words that spring from man’s wisdom. We do our best to apply our education and life experiences when asked to help. People will listen politely and privately dismiss our advise. The thing that we desperately need is a word in season that is prompted by the Holy Ghost that dwells within us.
 
Luke 21:15  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
 
The church has been commissioned to preach and teach to the whole world (Mark 16:15-16, Matthew 28: 18-20, Acts 1:8). Our neighbors and coworkers are aware that we are Christians. We can be confident that they watch our every move. When the time of crisis and weariness comes in their life, they will come looking for a word.  May we give them words  in season, straight from the throne of God.
 
Philippians 2: 14 ¶ Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15  That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16  Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
 
In About-Him
 
Humor
A parts manager for a small electronics shop, had occasion to order part No. 669 from the factory. But when he received it he noticed that someone had sent part No. 699 instead. Furious at the factory's incompetence, he promptly sent the part back along with a letter giving them a piece of his mind.
 
Less than a week later, he received the same part back with a letter containing just four words:  "TURN THE BOX OVER."

Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.  
Keep Looking Up!
