"More Than Words"

"The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty." (Psalms 29:4) By now, you should have figured out where I am going with this Psalm; and you should know by now, it's pretty much about how God can do anything that God wants to do; even if that involves creating something from nothing, He can do that, if He so chooses! I think we have been subject to the laws of man so long, that we have become accustom to defining everything by it's origin; in other words, if it's something that regenerates rather quickly, then it's a natural process, but if it's been around for ever, then it had some type of cosmic origin, such as a 'Big Bang'. Typically, the hardest thing that man has to try and explain it's origin, is man himself; not just because man is so creative and full of imagination, but because of man's individuality, and how it is that not one person is exactly like another; each and every man and woman has a special code within them that is different than anyone else. Now to some, that might not seem like such a big deal; after all, snowflakes are also unique from one another; however, snowflakes are actually produced by a 'Big Bang', but mankind, we have more of a natural process, where we begin as a seed, and then grow into something full of potential. Personally, I do not prescribe to the "Big Bang Theory", because as far I can interpret how things work, if it was created with a big bang, then it probably is not going to last for very long. Two things are presented in this verse today: that God's voice is powerful, and that His voice is full of majesty; both of which proclaim how His voice is more than mere words; but do we actually realize how much more? When I was a small child, I would read the opening verses of Genesis, and I would with great awe, imagine God speaking things into existence; picturing in my mind how God would speak out with a thundering voice, "Let there be light", and wallah, out of the darkness appeared a glorious light. Then we start trying to figure out the other stuff, like the earth, plants, animals, humans; the light, that is one thing easy enough to understand, because we go around all day flipping on and off light switches, so why shouldn't God be able to flip on a light with His word? Yes, God can do whatever He wants to do, but light means more than just illumination, it also means order, life, and prosperity; in other words, God's light that was produced by His word was His Light..."In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness, He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." (Genesis 1:1-5)
