In the beginning God spoke. And spoke. And spoke. He spoke until creation was formed. And then he spoke one more time. God tells Adam to name the animals. God watches Adam as he is asked to speak - to create.
God asks humankind to partner with Him in creation. We don’t need advanced degrees or special tools to create. We need words. Without words, all of our achievements are useless. Words connect us. Words create.
But words can destroy, too.
“A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.”
Proverbs 15:4 (NRSV)
We become so used to talking that we rarely care about what we’re saying. You’ve been invited to join God in the act of creation, and your words are key! Speak today as a creator might. Build people up. Be kind. Create friendships and bonds. Create humor and happiness. Speak up.
God wants to see what you’ll make.
