Although opinions vary about talk radio, there are moments that are enlightening, original and refreshing. While driving home from work the other night, a caller made a comment about the host. Going into specific details on a random topic, the caller replied, “this reveals a window into your soul.”
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles, Psalm 34:17.
Sure, everyone possesses at least one hot button issue, an interest which you are passionate about. However, the more I ponder this comment, I’m convinced conversations do give strangers a peak into your heart. Yet, what happens if your words are few and far between, empty of any substance? Does this suggest your soul is broken, crushed or wounded?
He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake, Psalm 23:3.
As I experience an arid period of conversation, what use to be important doesn’t excite me any longer. Perhaps, this is merely a phase, something that will pass overtime. Nonetheless, words are like a pulse, providing a window into your soul. Thus, the next you feel like the cats got your tongue, pay close attention to the words that you do profess. If they are not pleasing to Lord, seek guidance from the Lord, leaning on God’s mercy and ask the Holy Spirit to transform your lips.
