"Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, the utterances of God..." I Peter 4:11
Wow. Think about the implications of that. Think about the utterances of God...what they would sound like. To hear the utterances of God would be to hear only words of absolute truth, absolute love, absolute purity. To think about taking our words captive to emulate the utterances of God...what a goal...what a privilege...what a calling.
This carries so much further even than our words alone...
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks...
If our words reflect the utterances of God, than what does that mean for our hearts? It means that not only are we speaking truth, but we believe in our hearts that what God says to be true genuinely is...we subscribe to loving God with our whole beings, and by the grace of God, loving our neighbors-created in God's own image...we hold ourselves to a standard of purity in all things...
Again, what a standard-to aim for our words to reflect the utterances of God, to direct our thoughts constantly to the things of God and His infinite truth...to saturate our hearts in that which causes our Father's to beat for us...
Just a thought...
