A Good Word

31/05/2009 by John Marsden.

Everyday, each one of us meet not just people but the difficulties and life situations they find themselves in. Listening to their stories I have found one of the best ways I can help them is to speak a good word in season. This means being sensitive to the person and their life and also sensitive to the voice of Holy Spirit.

The Book of wise sayings says;

Proverbs 15:23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!  NKJV

A good word can change a persons outlook, their perception on their situation especially if you can get them to see things from a heavenly perspective.

A good friend of mine Dr Bob Nicholls says that whenever we read the Bible we should do three things.

• Read it slowly
• Read it in the moment, 
• See our lives from Gods perspective.

Good advice! I have found that if I can encourage someone to embrace, believe and put their hope in the Word of God, which is always a good word sown in season their lives and situations can be changed  immediately. Give someone today a good word in season and be a blessing to them.

Have a great day

John
