Enlarging Our Vocabulary

 

...may those who love Your salvation

say continually,

        "Great is the LORD!"

          Psalm 40. 16

(God does not just change our hearts.

    He enlarges our vocabulary.

Does anyone see

        any difference in us

in how we speak,

how we respond,

      even what we talk about?

What if we said

    --in so many words--

       "Great is the LORD?"

We rarely acknowledge Him

      even among church people.

What if we make others aware

   to what God is doing,

engraving His Presence

   into our conversations,

allowing God to transform

  the trajectory of our chats?

We talk freely about a lot of things.

But do we mention Him?)

O LORD,

May our conversations,

our vocabulary,

our words

   bring glory to You.

Nudge us in situations

   to speak of You.

We cannot know

  how You will use

      even an informal chat

      to draw someone to You.

Enlarge our vocabulary

and our willingness

   to know You

   and make You known.
