Through the Word all things came
into being…
What is coming into being with
your word this week? Maybe your Advent
word is helping you explore this holy season.
Maybe your Advent word is frustrating you because you two had a tiff
last night when you were thinking about all the other words you
could have chosen and you decided that “hope” was your word…or “peace”…or
“love”…or “light,” and now that word feels heavy or unable to uphold you.
Take time with your word
today. Go look up a definition of the
word you’ve selected. Make as many
sentences with your word as you can. If
you are frustrated, you could start with, “I can’t believe I picked “hope” as
my word.” Google quotes using your word,
see how other people have played with this word previously. Or just write it down on a piece of paper
again and again and again, because all words can be Holy when we let God enter
the “third space” with us and our word.
In fact, God is already there.
What might God be singing to you this day in your word?
Please pray with me: God, I
picked this word, (speak your word aloud).
What do You want me to discover or uncover in this word? Did I get it right? Help me continue to explore and express and
experience the elasticity of this holy word as I let it work in me and through
me in these days. Let my word and Your
presence guide me deeper into this season of Advent. Amen.
