Words you didn’t even know you had
Today is the third and last devotion preparing the hearts of those coming to She Speaks. (Please note, I am answering some of yesterday's questions in today's comments.)

But, like I stated Monday, whether you are coming to the conference or not, I pray these posts have stirred your heart and prepared your mind for whatever God is about to place right in front of you.

What is the very best preparation for She Speaks? I bet if you asked people coming to the conference, you’d get as many answers as women planning to attend. There’s just so much to do.

But, let’s pause for just a minute in the midst of fingers flying over computer keys, phone calls to arrange child care, outfit borrowing or buying, nail painting, hair dying, and urgent prayer requests being sent to friends and family.

Yes, let’s pause.

And consider.

Psalm 45:1 says, “My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer,” (NIV).

Oh sisters, please don’t shortchange your spiritual preparation.

...God needs to woe you into the special secret places.

...He desires to sit with you and pour some timely wisdom into the dry places of your heart.

...He longs to shore up those cracks and crevices within your emotions.

...God wants to entrust you with the perfect words, the right message, and the pliable attitude necessary to make this conference all it can be.

But God won’t make us stop and pause and consider. We have to make the choice. And if we do, we’ll be prepared in the perfect way God knows we’ll need to be.

Let your heart be stirred by a noble theme… as you recite your verses for the king. Your tongue will then surprise you in the best kind of way as it communicates words you didn't even know you had.
