“He made my words of judgement as sharp as a sword”

Isaiah 49:2
By: Nathlee Grant

With Fathers’ day just a day behind us, I reflected on a phrase from one of female friend “I am not acknowledging these sperm donors”. This took me further in reflecting on a sermon preached some time ago by a beautiful young lady; I believe her name is Gayle, who preached from the passage Isaiah 49.  The first line of verse 2 in particular strike an interest, “He made my words of judgment as sharp as a sword” and even though Gayle went into detail then today it stir an interest.

Women, what are our words of judgement? What kind of judgement are we placing on our MEN; leaders, husbands, fathers, sons? 

Remember we are responsible in shaping our sons today to become our Leaders/Husbands/Fathers tomorrow. And should another (mother) messed up with the one we've happened to commit to, even then we can help to change, with our words. We can continue deceiving ourselves and play blame game, but truth be told we are responsible for some of these mess. Today is not too late and we can choose to make a change.

We (ladies) can make the effort to consciously use words that will encourage, motivate, inspire, affirm, accommodate, build, etc.? This effort I am positive will bring us fruits of love, respect, joy, peace, happiness, long life etc.

Our sons; leaders, husbands and fathers are depending on us. We were created to strengthen our MEN! Let God continue to find us faithful through our obedience and trust in Him…..Watch that word!

Isaiah 49

Genesis 22

Our Father who Art in Heaven, we continue to look to you for strength and encouragement as we seek to do your will on earth as in heaven. Father we thank you for the ways in which you have continued to reveal yourself for the good of us, through your love and mercy. Continue to guide us in your path of righteousness as we eagerly anticipate to play our part, in the lives of our sons, husbands, father and leaders whom you have given us. We look to you Abba, for the words we will use daily to give them strength. In Jesus’ name amen!
