Does God have a specific vocabulary? A lexicon of words and phrases that God uses to communicate with all of humanity. Sometimes we forget that God does not communicate in words. God speaks into the human heart. That is precisely the problem. We want clear answers. Answers that can be quantified, analyzed, and endlessly interpreted. God’s wisdom leads us in the direction that God desires. God’s wisdom can neither be contained nor limited by human vocabulary. And that is a good thing. Human words have limits and inherent expectations. Unfortunately, we listen to God expecting a lengthy treatise, or an eloquent oration. In truth, God speaks in feelings, questions, and even doubt. That is God speaking. God does speak to humanity. Now, that is genuinely God News. Blessings, Pastor Tom Matthew 17:1-8 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.” And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. Comments are closed.
