Communication...

As women we have a common bond, we love to talk! The need is to communicate with our husband and children, and even our friends. The dictionary defines the word communicate as: to have connection with, to reveal and to impart information.

I listened as a soldier described his seven years as a prisoner of war. Each prisoner was placed in a dark cell, alone. He shared that his way of staying sane was his means of communicating with the prisoner in the next cell, and that man with the next, and so on. The greatest respect was for the man who could pray or quote Scripture there in the darkness. Not one man rejected God’s Word or the prayers. Those who made it, credit this soldier for helping keep their sanity by communicating together and with God. A special lady in my life lost her ability to speak after a stroke. Her husband had difficulty with his hearing. Their visits together were mostly in silence or napping. We discovered that the songs and Bible verses she had learned by repetition over the years were stored in her heart and mind. “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.”
(Psalm 119:11).

When a group of men from the Colony of Mercy addiction center came to visit, they sang Victory in Jesus”. She joined them! What glory it brought to the Lord as workers and visitors in the nursing home marveled! Today she is with the Lord; her husband and some of the men likewise. They communicate with God face to face.

While we wait for that day ourselves, we can communicate now through prayer and reading God’s Word. As an added bonus, memorize His Word. God can bring it to mind even in the darkest hour.
