Know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them 

“The Lord GOD has given me a well-trained tongue, that I might know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them. Morning after morning he opens my ear that I may hear; and I have not rebelled, have not turned back.” (IS 50: 4-5)

Among many how-to skills, there is one, probably the most forgotten and the most important at the same time: “know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them.” Among many how-to trainings, we can find courses on how to communicate our needs, how to be assertive and how to receive what we need, but there are not many to learn “how to speak a word that will rouse.” It takes time, but God “morning after morning opens my ear that I may hear.” He wants us on His side, working like He does.
