Words

Isn't it amazing that we have been given a gift in the form of words? This is the chosen vehicle with which we are able to communicate with one another. I'm glad that we don't communicate in the form of grunts or burps or laughter or something like that. Intelligent design - chose words. Words can be powerful. They have the ability to lift up or to destory. Who would have thought that something as small as a word,which could be as little as 4 letters, could hold such power.

I love words. Especially what I call "choice words." They sort of roll around the tongue and give pleasure to the hearer. "Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold in settings of silver," says the proverbs. Now, how many of you enjoy a good speaker or a well written book? I delight in the usage of words which can set your imagination back into time or forward for that matter.

If we have been created with the ability to use "words" to communicate, how amazing that the Creator also communicates by the Word of His Power. There is one who is called, "The Word," whose "words" hold within them the ability to create... to change. These "words" are powerful. That power is, in truth a person, the person of the Holy Spirit. Now these are the words which I long to hear and receive into my being. These are the "choice words" of which I speak, building and fortifying the inner sanctum, which enable and keep the heart and mind. Choice words....

The scripture says, "By the Word, the worlds were framed together." It also says, that He said, "Let there be light, and there was light." However, His word is "living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

That is awesome in a kind of fearful way. His Words - we have to consider His words. Being the author of all words how can we ignore them? Everyone speaks of education and how it is so important. Well, here is an educated word - "today, is the day of salvation!" Another one goes like this, "there is only one name under heaven by which men may be saved."

So next time you think about words consider these ...He has gifted us with a way to communicate with Himself and He most definitely will have the last Word!
