A God Instructed Tongue

"The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary." Isaiah 50:4. I can't think of anything I'd rather have than a God-instructed tongue that sustains the weary. How kind our God is. He never disdains the weary or says, "You deserve to be weary because you have behaved stupidly or disobediently or badly . . . so go away and do better-" even though that might be true many times. No, he sends words from God-instructed tongues to sustain us, the weary ones. Let us position ourselves to be able to both give an instructed word and receive an instructed word; let us embrace both our humanness and our divineness - our humanness that gets weary and our divineness that gives God-instructed words to the weary.
