When God Speaks

“Then God said, ‘Let there be . . .’ and there was . . .” Genesis 1:3

Try this simple experiment, hold your empty hand out and say to it, “Let there be a bird,” and see if a bird appears. It is not likely to happen. But when God talks, the void is filled with the demands of His voice. When Jesus was asleep in the boat during the storm and His disciples panicked with fear, Jesus woke up and stilled the storm with a word. When God speaks the universe listens.

What about us? God has given to us His Word. It has been inspired by Him who is without error in His being. It is certified by Him with the death and resurrection of His Son. It is declared by Him to be profitable for every need of the believer’s life. The question remains for the believer, are we like all the universe and respond to His voice, or are we more interested in our own will and way? As Jesus said, “He that hath an ear, let him hear.”

Dear Father, You alone are true and wise, remind me of this every day. Amen.
