My May 17, 2023 paper, The Cavalier Chronicle, carries a cpm or Revised Common Lectionary homily, which I will quote and then comment on: It is entitled, Praise God From Whom All Blessing Flow: How to find the words adequate to describe God? All powerful? Present everywhere? All knowing? God is more than words can convey. Maybe we don’t need words. Maybe we just need to honor God. This week, in church, honor our awesome God. Awesome is God in his sanctuary. Psalm 68: 1-10, 32-35.
My response: We are and should praise God from whom all blessings flow.
God is more than just words convey. But we need to use words to describe God, to honor God, to love God, and to talk to God, for, by using words, we think, and by thinking we are using reason, that divine logical principle or Logos, that is God. When we speak, we think in words, and that is talking God’s language, or a version of it, dumb-downed for human use. Praise God but talk about God. Your words will not capture God’s essence and God knows this, and that is not De’s point. You are to pray or converse with God in words every day.
