A popular statement says, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Anyone who has ever breathed air can attest to the fact that this is untrue. Words are powerful, and can bring life or death.
No word is more powerful than that spoken from the mouth of God.
Throughout scripture we see the Word of God bring life, light, and order. With his voice, God created the cosmos. With his voice, Jesus healed the sick. With his voice, the words “It is finished” brought an end to the reign of sin and death.
The same Word that brought the stars into existence; holds the oceans in place; and gives breath to a newborn baby, is the same Word that speaks into each moment of your life. Find peace in this truth. When God says it’s enough, it’s enough. No other voice has that power. Far too often we give up when we should not yet, or we keep chasing after emptiness… listen, and hear the voice that says, “Enough.”
During this season, may you experience renewal (life), hope (light), and peace (order) as you listen to the voice of God speak.
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
