PROMISE #26 – HIS VOICE
My voice… I have used it to calm, to soothe, to rebuke and reprimand.
My voice… I have used it to chastise, to love, to embrace with just a sound.
It’s when I find myself speechless that I wonder what my voice really says.
I wonder whom my voice really represents?
I have spoken the spectrum from love to hate and I wonder why I use the beautiful gift so recklessly at times.
I hear the Voice now.
The only One that matters.
Not in a scream, a shout… but in a whisper.
Use it for Me.
Use the words I speak to you.
V eering from my own voice to His
O nly speaking the words that please His ears
I gnoring the ugly prompts from the darkest corners
C hoosing to whisper… or shout ~ only words of affirmation, of encouragement
E choing the sounds that began with His own voice…
Let there be light…
PROMISE #26 ~ His voice will shake the earth.
Hebrews 12:26-29
At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken – that is, created things – so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”

thanks for the reminder… our voice can most certainly be used for good, or evil… to encourage or to tear down.
we must be intentional when we use our voice, mustn’t we?
good words, today!
