The words we use can be healing or hurtful, and our lectionary selections will give us the opportunity to think about our words throughout this week. The scriptures include: Proverbs 1:20-33 and Psalm 19 or Wisdom of Solomon 7:26 – 8:1, Isaiah 50:4-9a and Psalm 116:1-9, James 3:1-12, and Mark 8:27-38.
Isaiah 50:4 – The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens– wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught.
Most of us don’t think of ourselves as prophets, but Isaiah speaks to a truth for all us. Someone depends on or looks up to each of us. Offer a prayer on behalf of that person today.
Creator God, help us to be sustaining presences in the lives of our friends and families. Amen.
