To Speak or Not

I find myself wondering a lot lately about the power of our words. Think of it this way, when the Creator spoke it started with movement. He danced and then said the word "let" and it happened and is continuing to happen. When He speaks it is forever, eternity, so He is still "letting" things be created. Wow! What a thought, He continues to speak and we hear Him speak in all of creation. So, if there is power in what He says and He gives us the ability to speak, what are we saying? Are our words encouraging or destroying? I hope that they are creating an atmosphere that is full of creativity. I know that I need to be creative with my words and not just speak because I feel like it. I need to be careful with how I use the gift of speech that He my wonderful Creator has given me! My challenge to each of you is to watch what you say and see what it creates in you and for others. I am reminded of a kids movie "Bambi," where one of the characters, Thumper, had a line that I to this day have memorized. "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." Be creative and speak well of one another and see all that He will do in you!
