Voices that we hear

So God created /made

It is a recurring term that comes in the story of creation. My eldest one was asking last day. How did God create? He did not create with His hands right? I told yes it was through His word, His voice He created(Except the creation of man). It was difficult for him to fully understand that. 

It's very difficult for us to comprehend too, because we are limited in our understanding, finite in our comprehension. We are not beings who can create by our words. We are used to being creative by our hands. 

Moulding clay. 

Drawing picturesque scenes. 

Writing life like stories and poems. 

As a healthcare professional - part taking in the healing process. 

As a labourer - setting up a beautiful garden. 

As a chef - making sumptuous delicious mouth watering delicacies. 

As an engineer- developing a software or an infrastructure

All these are works of our hands. 

We as finite beings will not be able to do these by the power of our words. So little do we comprehend when the Almighty, All powerful God creates everything that we see and do not see by the power of the utterances of His word. 

 His word creates Heb:11:3 By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command. 

His word sustains Heb:1:3 He sustains everything by the mighty power of His command. 

His word is in the final scene too Heb:12:26

When God spoke from Mount Sinai, His voice shook the earth, but now He makes another promise, Once again I will shake not only the earth but heavens also. This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed. 

Throughout the Psalms we have references which point to creation, sustenance and consummation by His word. 

His word is power. John 1 says it is this word who became flesh and lived among us. Jesus Christ. It is the same voice which said 'Father forgive them'

The Word of God, who is Jesus has immense power in your life. Beyond what you can comprehend, as I said, because we are more of doing kind of people and less of listening or speaking people. 

If at all we are regular in seeking His voice, listening to Him. On a daily basis. How different our lives will be. That is what the Holy God always desires - to commune with you as friend. That is the key to life in its fullness. A life which was originally designed for you. Abundant life. 

Listen to not the voices around you, but to the voice that matters.
