Divine Recompense

"He that watereth shall be watered also himself" (Proverbs 11:25).

If I carefully consider others, God will consider me, and in some way or other
He will recompense me. Let me consider the poor, and the LORD will consider me.
Let me look after little children, and the LORD will treat me as His child. Let
me feed His flock, and He will feed me. Let me water His garden, and He will
make a watered garden of my soul. This is the LORD's own promise; be it mine to
fulfill the condition and then to expect its fulfillment.

I may care about myself till I grow morbid; I may watch over my own feelings
till I feel nothing; and I may lament my own weakness till I grow almost too
weak to lament. It will be far more profitable for me to become unselfish and
out of love to my LORD Jesus begin to care for the souls of those around me. My
tank is getting very low; no fresh rain comes to fill it; what shall I do? I
will pull up the plug and let its contents run out to water the withering
plants around me. What do I see? My cistern seems to fill as it flows. A secret
spring is at work. While all was stagnant, the fresh spring was sealed; but as
my stock flows out to water others the LORD thinketh upon me. Hallelujah!

======================================================================
Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for
building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.  Eph
4:29

“We need to recognize how ‘wordy’ our lives are. Talk seems so normal, so
ordinary, so unimportant, so harmless. Yet there are few things we do that are
more important. Words are powerful, important, significant. It was meant to be
that way. When we speak, it must be with the realization that God has given our
words significance. He has ordained for them to be important. Words were
significant at Creation and at the Fall. They are significant to redemption.
God has given words value. So we must do all we can to assign words the
importance Scripture gives them.ö

Paul Tripp
================================================

“Our use of the tongue is a sure evidence of the condition of our heart. It is
the hinge on which the door into our souls swings open in order to reveal our
spirit. In effect our words are like so many media people rushing to file their
reports on the condition of our soul.ö
