The
Tongue of the Learned
Have you ever been in some conditions where you
can’t control your sharp tongue? It won’t stop attacking others until you can
silence him/her.
Maybe we’ve been through that condition before,
but because we’re now the disciples of Christ, the tongue of the learned is one
thing that we should try our best to achieve day by day.
May the words that come out of our mouth can give
a motivation to those who are weary. Not the negative words, making others
stressful and just gossiping around.
May today onwards we try our best to control our
tongue. Because we’re all His disciples. (-fon-)
“The Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned.
--- Isaiah 50:4
Lidah Seorang Murid
Apakah Anda pernah berada
pada kondisi di mana lidah Anda sungguh tajam? Tak berhenti menyerang sampai orang tersebut bungkam dan
mati kutu terdiam?
Mungkin pernah kita alami, namun hendaknya ketika kita menjadi pengikut Kristus,
lidah seorang muridlah yang kita perjuangkan hari lepas hari.
Perkataan yang keluar dari
mulut kita semoga bisa memberi semangat kepada orang yang mendengarnya. Bukan
perkataan yang menjatuhkan, membuat stres, atau membuat pergunjingan (baca:gosip)?
Semoga mulai hari ini kita
belajar mengendalikan lidah kita. Karena kita adalah murid-Nya. (-fon-)
Tuhan ALLAH telah
memberikan kepadaku lidah seorang murid, supaya dengan perkataan aku dapat
memberi semangat baru kepada orang yang letih lesu. Setiap pagi Ia mempertajam
pendengaranku untuk mendengar seperti seorang murid.
--- Yesaya 50:4
