My words don’t matter, But His Words DO!!

This is something of a mindset of mine, whenever I speak out something.
If all you are hearing is me, Daniel Anthony, then I’m afraid that you are just plain missing out. You need to be hearing His words that He is speaking through me.

A picture might help to clarify what I’m trying to say here.

When I’m speaking, it can be that I’m just going, “na, na, na, na, na na na.” 🙂
But the Lord my God, then comes along with a megaphone, and when He puts that against my mouth…… then a Boooooming “Thus Sayeth The LORD!!” comes forth.

You see, it’s just not about me, and what I’m saying, but about Him, and what He is saying, through me. (If He chooses to make use of me 🙂 )

There is a comfort in knowing this.
Even if I get it wrong (Which I can do, I’m only human after all) then He can bring about a correction by what He does with what I do.
It’s always going to be better if I don’t make a mistake, and I’ll endeavour to remain in step with Him, but if I do fall out of step…. then He is able to bring a correction.

It’s a bit like David, when he went out to kill Nabal and all the males in his house hold, just because he wouldn’t give David some food, and Nabal replied “Who is this David?” It’s in 1 Samuel 25
OK, Nabal slapped David in the face when he said this, but David, you just spared Saul’s life in the cave in the previous chapter, and Saul was trying to kill David.
Did David use all his grace up on Saul, so that when it came to Nabal, he had none left???
Thankfully God sent Abigail (the real hero in this account) to intervene to quench David’s anger.
I mean, come on David, it was a bit of an overreaction, David said to his men, “Each of you strap on your sword!” Verse 13 Just because Nabal said no to his request for some food and asking “Who is this David?”
It’s all in there, have a read of it.

I digressed a bit there, but not a bad digression. 🙂

So, where was I. I was going on about megaphones.
When I get it right (which hopefully I do at times) then it can be me stepping up to the megaphone.
But when I get it wrong (which sadly I do more than I would like to) then my God can move the megaphone to me, and hopefully iron out the creases.
He can do this for you as well!
Knowing this can very much so send fear away!
It’s His words that matter, after all!!

But even if I get everything right, then how will what I bring be received by you?

You see, when we receive words, we can have a tuning effect on how much or what we hear.
Even if everything was sent in Love and the the message was a Boooooming “Thus Sayeth The LORD!!”, if we are not tuned into the right station (of hearing Our Lord God I’m talking about), then can we sometimes just hear an irritating, “na, na, na, na, na na na.”

In an ideal world I’ll being doing my bit right (along with everyone else who brings a word), and so will you (in receiving the word), and we can then end up with a Boooooming “Thus Sayeth The LORD!!”

Unfortunately we just don’t live in this ideal perfect world, and mistakes just happen. Even with all the best will in the world.
What do we do then?

Colossians 3:13
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

I know, this can not be easy at times. But if we can do this, then it is a difference that will confuse and confound the world.
Trying to put it another way, if the world sees this in action, it brings Glory to Our Lord God!

So, can we endeavour to remain in step with Our Loving Heavenly Father?
Whether you are sending or receiving something, can we do it all through His eyes??

My Lord God.
As I have said many times before, Please help me to remain in step with You, All the days of my life.
My Loving Heavenly Father.
Amen.
