One Word…

Sometimes it only takes one gesture, one action, one sign, one deed toward another to make a difference. It can be something that sets the whole atmosphere of the day. Just one thing that can change a countenance from being heavy to being a little lighter; from being cast down to being joyful and hopeful. Sometimes it can take just…

One Word.

It makes even more of a difference when it is not just a word, but His Word.

Psalm 107:20 states, “He sent out his Word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction.

In the gospel of Luke, chapter 7, the centurion soldier told Jesus that if he (Jesus) were to just say in a word, his servant who was sick at the point of death would be healed. It says that Jesus marveled at the faith of this man. When he returned home, the servant was well.

One Word from Jesus and a healing came forth!

One Word and a change, a transformation, a positive difference, a need met, a desire fulfilled.

We who believe are all extensions of who Jesus is and what He does. We too can offer out the good in all that we do in order to bring out the positive. He can work through our hands, speak through our mouths and he can love through our hearts. Whether in tongue or in deed, we can make a difference even with something as simple as…

One Word!!

By the same token, the person who gives out can receive in the same manner. Where there is a need, a void, a question, an attitude… one simple something can change that in the exact way it’s needed. Position yourself to receive. Don’t allow it to pass you by. That one something that can lift your countenance, your situation, your faith… catch it. And remember, it may just come in the form of just…

One Word!!

Dear God, my prayer today is simply that You send out a Word that would make a change for the better. Whether it is a need for healing, deliverance, peace, a financial blessing, a restored relationship, regained self confidence, forgiveness, strength to a tired body, courage in the midst of circumstance, order in the midst of mess… Lord, whatever the need send out Your Word. You’ve let us know in Jeremiah 1:12 that You watch over and hasten to perform Your Word; in Isaiah 55:11, You send Your Word out and it doesn’t come back void; it performs what You intend it to.

That’s my prayer today, Lord. Send out Your Word.

You are so powerful and mighty! Loving and kind. You even share Your miraculous ways with us. You’ve said as stated in Romans 4:17, to call those things that be not as though they were. You give us hope when it doesn’t look like there is anything to hope for. You send encouragement in ways that we would never expect. Those unexpected blessings and special moments are the best.

Thank You!

With so many issues in life, sometimes Father God, we just need a little reminder that it is going to be alright. Sometimes we need to know and feel that Your hand and presence is right there on the scene of our lives. Let us see the result of Your working; Help us to grasp and hold on to the assurance of Your faithfulness. Help us to recognize when it is You moving and orchestrating. Help us not to miss the little things or overlook the obvious. Bless Lord as only You can. Lift out of a trouble mind, situation or life something that will bring peace, joy and transformation for the better.

Lord, we don’t care how You choose to do it. We leave that up to You. Help us to just look to You and believe You can. Father, we accept it whatever it will be, however You choose even if it is in the form of only…

One Word.

If it comes from You, it would be all that we would need.

In appreciation, love and a faith filled heart, I pray, in Jesus’ name…Amen!!
