"Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light (Genesis 1:3 NKJV). Have you ever thought about that event? God spoke, something happened. God declared a thing, and it was. God didn't walk over to a light switch and turn it on, He spoke and light became. Light went from a word that was spoken to something tangible; something real. God spoke into the darkness and what was, changed into what was declared. God spoke and the word that He spoke contained the power to become what He declared.
As you continue through the narrative of Genesis 1, God speaks time and time again and the results are always the same. Whatever He declares becomes the very thing He declares. The universe is the result of God speaking and those words becoming alive. "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please" (Isaiah 55:11 NKJV).
When God speaks, things change, worlds are created, atmospheres are altered. When God speaks, His word brings forth light in the middle of darkness, order in the middle of chaos, and peace in the middle of storms. His word creates hope where there is hopelessness, healing where there is brokeness, and life where there is death. He speaks and lives are restored, captives are set free, and broken hearts are put back together. When He utters a word, He's not simply shootin' the breeze, He's altering the world in which we live.
There are a lot of other voices out there speaking. Each one of them demanding our attention yet none of them capable of producing what is uttered from the lips of our Creator. Tweeters are tweeting, writers are writing, speakers are speaking, broadcasters are broadcasting, and posters are posting. Yet, none of this world's noise contains the life-giving, universe-creating power found only in the spoken word of God.
Is it just me or does it seem absolutely insane to walk through life with our ears tuned to the noise rather than the words that bring us life? God's longing to speak to you and His words contain just as much power today as they did on that day He said, "Let there be light." He spoke and the universe came into existence. I'm just wondering how much your world would be affected by you taking the time to slow down and listen to His voice.
