Are You Having a Wordy Week?

"Wordy" often has negative connotations, but not when it comes to God's Word.

To a writer, "wordy" is a negative criticism and a huge weakness. 


We writers love the sound of words and phrases and sentences, and we can get carried away. 

But I propose a positive meaning for "Wordiness" with a capital W

We can have a Wordy morning by drinking in several passages of Scripture along with our morning coffee. 

See 4 Practical Ways to Start Your Day with the Lord.

We can remain Wordy throughout the day by pondering verses we've memorized or posting them in visible places in our home, car, or office. 

See 3 Ways to Focus on Jesus When You're Busy.

We can make Wordy decisions by testing all other advice against God's Word. 

See Accurate Theology - Acts 17.

And we can use Wordy therapy to deal with our passions, lusts, fears, insecurities, and anger. 

See A Practical Method for Overcoming Sin.

Worldliness comes naturally. It's part of our fallen human nature, our old man (Ephesians 4:22-24). 

Wordiness requires deliberate attitudes and actions to renew our minds in God's Word (Romans 12:1-2). 

Well, before I get wordy in the wrong way, I'll wish you a Wordy day and a Wordy week.
