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.

    Nice one. We have to listen to HIS voice not only during trouble or testing times but also when the life situation seems favourable for us

Work hard, rather than hardly work

If a man will not work; he shall not eat. 2Thess:3:10 Work hard. Whatever is entrusted to you. Be it physical labour or be it a white collar job sitting in the AC. Be it studying or be it organising things. Be it a small thing that you take up or a bread winning job. Be genuine and hard working. An idle man is not deserving of any wages. An idle man is complacent and proud. An idle man is discontented and dissatisfied. Where as a hard working man is grateful for what he has got. He knows that he has got in his plate is not something he deserves. Let money not be the motivation factor too, for working hard. Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God. So wash your plates genuinely. When you clean the table and set near your room, let God's name be glorified. As unto the Lord, may you do it. When you treat a patient or build a house or develop a programme or play the fiddle, let it be genuine, let it bring a smile on Jesus' face, let it bring glory to the Father. Not ...

Myths, endless genealogies and meaningless talk

Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. 1Tim:1:6 About false teachers - who want to be teachers of the law but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm (v:7). Equally true for the common man like me - a warning that God endorses, not to be involved in myths (v:3), endless genealogies (v:3) and meaningless talk (v:6). Guard your tongue. Interestingly in James where it talks about taming the tongue, the instruction is again to the teachers, that they would be judged more strictly. Why these unnecessary gossip? A gossip is always a gossip; no matter how hilarious it sounds, no matter how informative it looks. Why indulge in meaningless conversations? Let your words be filled with grace, bringing glory to the Almighty. Let it reflect His character. Let it be a source of encouragement to a wandering one who will be plucked out of the very gates of hell. Let it be a signpost for a backsliding one. Let it be filled ...

A quiet life

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life. 1Thess:4:11 Being ambitious is to do something great in life. To do magnificent things. To achieve great goals. Paul's brotherly advise is to lead a quiet life and be ambitious to lead a quiet life. Doing great things will actually bring up the pride scale. If God brings it to your way, well and good. But desirous of being someone great in the world is a little bit dangerous. Be careful. Small is good. Little is good. Better a little with the fear of the Lord Thanq great wealth with turmoil.

Godliness

Godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1Tim:4:8 Godliness is God orientedness. It is bringing God in every equation. It is trusting in God in every situation. That is the real fear of God, which is the beginning of wisdom. That will bring promise both for the present life and for the life to come. It makes life simpler. In the middle of tumultuous waves, it brings peace. For the creator, sustainer God is with you in the boat, then why worry! God is with you, is the greatest promise you can have. Are you with God?

Contentment

But Godliness with contentment is great gain.  1Tim:6:6 Contentment is being happy with what you have. Contentment is the opposite to greed; covetousness; dissatisfaction; wanting for more. Godliness coupled with contentment is great gain. A surity that God would provide for all my needs. An assurance that God would supply all my needs according to His riches and glory. That He is Jehovah Jireh and I need not worry about my needs. He will take care. This will also help you to give. Like the widow who put the two copper coins which is all that she had. Knowing fully that her God would provide. Cheerfully we can give. Whether in surplous or in nothingness. Knowing for sure that God loves a cheerful giver, we can give happily. Knowing for sure that He would give back, in good measure, pressed down, shaken together.  And finally you will be free from greed. It starts well - planning, money orientedness, ultimately leading to compromising on many important things just t...

Never tire

And as for you, brothers never tire of doing what is right. 2Thess:3:13 Doing right might cost you. Might bring you loss. But never compromise. The Lord loves righteousness. And this is how we show our love to this righteous God. To pursue righteousness. Even in the smallest way. It might look infinitesimal. Especially in comparison to the consequence otherwise. You might lose your job. You might lose your precious relations. Your good will amongst your friend circle might be tarnished. But still never tire of doing what is right. Pursue righteousness.
