Isaiah 50:1-51:8
‘The
Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may
know how to sustain with a word him that is weary. He wakens me morning
by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught’ (Isaiah
50:4). Help us, Lord, to listen to You. Help us to speak for You. Teach
us that we cannot speak for You unless we are listening to You. Before
we can speak for You, we must speak to
You. We must pray, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening’ (1
Samuel 3:9-10). Listening to You, Lord, comes before speaking for God. First,
we wait on You - ‘I waited patiently for the Lord’. Then, we witness
for You - ‘He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our
God’. Waiting on You, Lord, and witnessing for You, we will win others for You - ‘Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord’ (Psalm 40:1-3).
