Voice

He spoke and there was light. He spoke and the world began. The Great voice had purpose and a plan. The Word was with him. The Word is separate but the same. The Word put His will second. He made Himself subservient to God.

Have you ever said something and wondered, “Where did that come from?” It happens a lot in anger. We speak in anger. We speak without thought. The words seem to have a life of their own, a will of their own. Regret is the reward for such haste.

Is the problem our words? No.

The problem comes from not showing deference to Him in our speech. We are better when we control our words and don’t let them fly from our mouths without purpose. Our voice matters. What we say and how we say it can create or destroy. It takes focus, purpose, and practice to harness our voice.

In speaking, we are echoing the creator. Using our voice is a divine act. We need to remember this connection and honour God through our voices.

Psalm 141: 3 Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
