He Speaks

What a wonderful thing: God is not a chatterbox. He doesn't say things to hear Himself talk. He doesn't say things to get us to like Him. He doesn't talk out both sides of His mouth. He says what He means and He means what He says. He always, always tells the truth, even if it hurts. He does not say things to manipulate us. He is not a people pleaser. When the next bunch of people are born, His word will still be standing for them too. When everything is said and done, His word stands forever.

His word stands the test of time. It still stands after all the rotten tomatoes are thrown. It stands no matter what an "important" person may say about it. It stands no matter what science or philosophy says. It still stands even if we don't choose to believe it. His word stands because He stands.

God is not impressed with what we think. God is not swayed by how we see things. God is God and that is that. He does not change. He will never change because He is who He says He is. We are the ones who must change. We must come into complete agreement with His word. You know how people are, everybody thinks it should be their way. It should be the best for them. Now with millions of  people on this planet, how do we think that is working? Not very well. God in His great wisdom knew people would have all kinds of problems agreeing on much of anything. So He speaks.

He gives us His word. He says to us: "Here it is, this is how you live life." He is the final authority on everything because it all belongs to Him. The universe, the earth, the people and all the stuff is His. It is high time we stopped trying to play God in our part of the universe. It is time to listen and obey His word. Truth be told it would really be a relief to not have to figure it all out and make it all happen. He speaks to all, apply His grace today!
