God Said...
God’s Word has awesome power! He spoke the Universe into
existence. (Genesis 1; John 1:4; Hebrews 11:3) Ponder that for a moment. God
didn’t ‘do’, God ‘said’; He didn’t lift a finger, wave His hand or even blink
His eyes; the world was created because He said for it to ‘be’. Can you imagine
what kind of power that is? He didn’t have to say it twice, either. Once, and
done; literally. Funny how His Words were obeyed, until man came into the picture.
Then man questioned and disobeyed. Who did ‘we’ think ‘we’ were to ignore what
God said?
Who do we think we are now? How many times do you feel God speaking
to you and you just brush it aside? Or question it? Or blatantly disobey it?
Have you struggled with an idea or command God’s given you, wondering if He
really meant what He said? Do you have difficulty in finding time to read your
Bible? Do you doubt the promises He makes in Scripture?
What is it about His Word that we have such a hard time with?
If we really think about it, it’s not His Word we have issues with, it’s us. We
just don’t have faith that He Is Who He says He Is. It is by faith that we understand
what He spoke into existence; it’s by faith we have to honor the words in
Scripture; it’s by faith that we have to trust the path He’s put us on… It is
by faith that we believe. (John 20:29, 1 Peter 1:8) It is by faith that we are
saved. (Ephesians 2:8)
We need to understand that God speaks; continually. He spoke
the world into existence, He spoke to His authors of the Bible. And He speaks
to you. The question is: Do you hear Him? (Are you even listening?) Everything
He has said (and hence had written)
is true. Everything He has yet to say is true. His Word never fails because His
Word withstands time. (Isaiah 40:8; 1 Peter 1:25) And if our faith doesn’t;
neither will we. (John 3:15-16; Romans 4:16; Romans 3:22; Ephesians 1:13;
Philippians 3:9; 1 Timothy 6:12)
