He is God, and God has always been.
He is God, and His voice created life.
He is God, and He made us like Him.
With our voice, we can destroy… or we can create.
With our voice, we can trod… or we can encourage.
With our voice, we can envy… or we can rejoice.
He is God, and as we disappoint, He still loves.
He is God, and He wants to walk this journey with us.
He is God, and to walk with Him, we just say, “Yes.”
With our voice, we can ignore Him, or we can talk with Him.
With our voice, we can shun Him, or we can embrace Him.
With our voice, we can hide Him, or we can shout about Him.
(Genesis 1:27)
Proverbs 10:31 (New International Version)
31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
but a perverse tongue will be cut out.
Nice verse pull, Dusty – as I read that I wonder if this is also true, given the post: “The mouth of the wise, brings forth righteousness.”
I believe if we stick to the definition of Wisdom coming from God (i.e. not man’s version of wisdom) then “The mouth of the wise, brings forth righteousness.” would be a truthful declaration.
“I believe if we stick to the definition of Wisdom coming from God” – yes, that’s my point – the truly wise are wise because of God
Amen!
Oh! Wow!
This is way cool.
thanks, Michael
This totally rocks bro’….let our voices unite in the total worship of our great God and King!
yes! united voices!
Excellent, Herb. It’s an important time to watch our tongues! I want blessings, life, wisdom, grace, mercy, kindness to be flowing out. Glad I’m connected to the Vine and His words are abiding in me. Thank you.
“Glad I’m connected to the Vine and His words are abiding in me.” ~~> me too, Jason.
Seems to be a conspiracy of the Holy Spirit today – I have been studying for Sunday and it is about the flow of the Holy Spirit through us and this hits it right on the head. When we have the flow of the Spirit of God then we are His Voice.
Good encouragement today!
I am always amazed at how the Holy Spirit moves in community – excited for you bro!
Amen Herb! Very well said!
thanks, Kevin
The first thing came to mind when I started to read was:
Is he doing the Perkinsian style or his own style?
But it’s your own style. Love it, love it, love it. It’s so beautiful.
Our voice, yeah, it’s very important how we use it. I want my voice to be used for His glory.
“I want my voice to be used for His glory.” me too!
P.S. Perkinsian? So, Perky gets his own style now? Well, if I weren’t jealous before… just kidding.
Perky? Who the hack is Perky?
Just to be sure: I meant Michael, you remember? Your weird, disturbed but so loved brother on the other blog?
Michael “Perky” Perkins
Oh bwahahahaaaaaaaaaa! Perky! He has a nickname, the artistboy has a nickname. hahahaaaaaa.
suddenly I have a sense of regret flowing over me – sorry, Michael
lol.
It’s cool.
whewwwwww…
by the way – these uber-nested replies look awesome!
weird?
haha – I was laughing so hard at the whole Perky thing to miss that she called you weird and disturbed LOL
Yeah well, I read my comments and I guess I’m weird too. Well, that cleared it all: we’re all weird! So it’s okay. hahaha. I’m trying to justify what I did here.
haha – it’s all in good fun
“With our voice, we can destroy…or we can create”
There is so much weight on that line, I think we smile and say “oh that’s nice” but it is heavy. We can literally create with our voices. That is part of being made in His image. I’m just letting that sink it.
thanks, Tony – reminds of that David Crowder song, Surely We Can Change, where he says “all the love in the world, is right here, among us – and hatred too – so we must choose what our what our hands will do”
