Often in life we are taught to think before we speak, we learn for ourselves that words can hurt, encourage, inspire and correct. Yet, how many of us really consider the words we speak? This is one lesson we are constantly trying to teach our children, that words should be purposeful, they are not meaningless, but they have power based within them. I see that as I read the first chapter of the Bible, Genesis. God says, and stuff happens. God must of carefully planned and orchestrated His words because they contained such creative power that something was made out of nothing (don’t we also see that with our own words?).
God’s words contain power. So do ours. That’s why all babies endeavour to talk, they want to convey their needs and wants, that’s why we learn other languages, so we can communicate and understand others. Words are important. Your words are important, you should be listened to - are you communicating in a way that people want to respond to? That doesn’t mean being threatening or being the loudest and most insistent voice, but having a considered approach.
God created the universe via words. What are you creating with yours?
