If you are going to speak the words of God to others, you will have to set aside your own words.
At times we can be too quick to offer our opinion. The answer to the current problem or need seems readily apparent to us. Yet we must always remember that we are servants of the Lord. It is His words that bring life. When Christ allows us to stand before audiences and to speak on His behalf, we must make certain that what comes out of our mouth are His words, not ours.
Pride will suggest to us that we have plenty of clever things to say. We know certain cliches or humorous anecdotes that are sure to bring a smile to peoples’ faces! Yes the key is not how witty we are, but how divine are our words.
Take confidence not in your ability but in your master. Christ is fully prepared to use your life to bless others. Let Him fill your mouth with His words and then watch Him use your life to set people free!
