Due Season

Proverbs 15:23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

I have to admit I find great pleasure in doing this. It is not wrong to find joy in our ministries. Joy is a source of encouragement. Joy after all is the second fruit of the spirit. Yet to maintain that joy I have to submit to the Lord that I am not in control of the seasons.

I’ve gone thru seasons myself. I’ve been helped in those seasons, as is right, that men should be there for me. I haven’t always seen my way clear in those seasons and needed help. I had to submit myself and allow myself to be helped. This too is right and the will of the Lord.

Isaiah 50:4 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

My tongue for the most part is this keyboard. It has reached 63 nations and over 600 users. If nothing else it has taught me that I do not know who is weary and who needs a word in due season. So how can I serve you my readers if I do not know who you are, what your suffering or what season you are in, or if you are due which word?

He awakens my ear to hear. I have to submit myself to the One who does know. The same goes for both the servant and the served. We both have to trust God and believe that He knows our hearts and is so invested in our relationship that He will answer our cry.

Jeremiah 17:10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Our way is to seek out the Lord and find fruit in doing so.
