"Cheesy or Queezy" "Seemly or Deemly" I do not think that we take enough care to realize that there is a portion of taking dominion, that includes the language that we speak.
God brought the animals before Adam and gave him the responsibility of calling them what they were. We are quick to name things, unto life or unto death. This is our lot in life, as human beings made in the image of God, it is clear. Only God, has creating things as they are. We are here to find it's uses.
As reading Don Quixote, the folly and wisdom of calling things as they should be, instead of what they are. God has made all things beautiful in their time. We enjoy the beauty that is around us to His glory. We complain about what may or may not be often enough. But, so interesting of Cervantes to encapsulate the folly to us to have a person who calls things according to life at every turn. We call him mad. How can he not see what the Sweetness of El Toboso is? How can he not see that he is cheesy really and not royal as he feigns?
In Christ, alone we are a peculiar people and God alone gives us the glasses to see the royalty and humility of our positions.
Taking dominion is calling things according to the AMEN.
