Do you know that God speaks Kituba, Kikongo, Lingala, Kingwana and Tshiluba? I had never even heard of these languages until I went to hear Lynn Nelson talk yesterday. She is a missionary to the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is funny how we are so parochial in our thinking. We like to think of God as a bigger version of ourselves. We give him attributes that reflect who we are. That includes the language He speaks.
The truth is that WE were created in God's image. That means that each of us is a tiny reflection of the totality of God. So it makes sense that He speaks all the languages that are known to humanity. After all the Psalmist says God is acquainted with all our ways. He knows our customs and traditions and understands us no matter where we call home.
Give God the glory today and honor him for His great understanding and love of all creation.
