Hearing God’s Voice

Part 1

God’s Voice Creates

John 10:27 “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”

 One of the greatest wonders of the story of creation is that God created with mere words. When God said, “Let there be light,” with syllables, God spoke and creation happened. While we often think about all the plant and animals that God created, it’s easy to forget that He also introduced incredible smells and textures and colors into our world. Creation was filled with celebration of life and beauty.

The story of creation establishes God’s power, majesty, and wisdom as the Creator. The hero of creation is God, and through the sound of His voice, He is intimately connected with all of creation. 

The creation story is a potent reminder of the power of God’s voice in our lives. When God finished creating the heavens and the earth, everything was teeming with life. And when we encounter God’s voice in our lives, we can’t help teeming with a renewed sense of the life God wants to give us. God’s voice gives us the courage to overcome our fears, grow in our faith journeys, and become whom God has created us to be.
