Genesis 1

It’s so cool that the first thing we learn about God is that he is creative.

‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ‘
Genesis 1:1 https://www.bible.com/bible/116/GEN.1.1

God created using his words; the phrase “Then God said” was used 9 times in the first chapter.

God created us in his image (Genesis 1:26). I believe it’s in our very nature to create, to be creative, to be artisans in what we do.  One way we can be creative is with our words. We can use our words to build up or tear down relationships, to encourage or discourage. We can create heaven or hell with our words. I have to remind myself of what James said daily.

‘Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. ‘
