Let None of Your Words Fall

I was reading the book of First Samuel this crisp, fall morning and a beautiful sentiment lept off the pages to me.  It was in the story of Samuel as a young boy receiving God's call, a passage I have always loved and prayed over as it pertains to my children.

    Help my children hear your call, Lord! May their response be “Speak, for your servant is listening." (1 Samuel 3:10)

But it was further into chapter three that the Lord showed me a beautiful prayer today:

"The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel's words fall to the ground." 1 Samuel 3:19

I pray that today, dear friend.  Let us savor God's word for ourselves, and speak truthful, choice words that will not just fall to the ground, but serve to encourage one another.  May our words be winsome and helpful, instructing and guiding, and lead to LIFE.
