Pondering Truth {word filled wednesday}

I had a conversation the other day with my teenager.

We were talking about the world of constant communication that we live in. It was in the next breath that she spoke words that caused me to pause.

“Isn’t it ironic that we have constant communication and yet we’re really not saying anything at all to each other? We’re not really listening, but we’re constantly communicating.”

Then I came upon this verse, one that hides itself in Zechariah. A verse that met me in the moment. We are supposed to speak truth to each other, but how? How do we speak truth when the conversation is merely chatter? How do we speak truth  when we’re all competing to talk but really not saying anything?

It’s convicting to this soul. Three months into the year, a new season upon us and I’m pondering how well I am doing at my resolution to live intentionally? That involves listening. That involves eliminating the distractions and investing in the person standing in the room with me. That involves paying attention and noticing in order that truth can be spoken in love with the ultimate goal of peace, Jesus peace.

Living intentionally involves, well, living intentionally. I’ve been convicted this week to slow the pace, evaluate the words and ponder the truth.

{Welcome to WFW!}

There are very few rules, in fact the beauty of this ministry is the creative expression that God reveals Himself through. We marvel at the creativity that participants post! It’s a blessing!  We encourage the ” post behind the picture,” or the reflections that many of the participants share. We ask that for WFW that participants refrain from using non-biblical. If you’ve got the time we also encourage you to visit a few of the WFW contributors! It’s always a blessing to see the Scripture and story that creatively appear across the screen.

WFW is not about books, authors, artists… it’s about God and HIS WORD ONLY. WFW is about celebrating the gift of creativity through God’s Word and sharing the creative Word!

Please join us as we share the creative gifts God has blessed us with by signing into to the Link below to participate in WFW!
