In the timeless hymn, In the Garden, one verse says,

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing.

And the melody that He gave to me,

Within my heart is ringing.

If you’ve ever listened to birds sing you know how melodic their chirps can be for the most part (not always).

So, imagine a voice so sweet, the birds quiet their songs to listen.

In Genesis we see how God spoke and the world came into existence. Was it a thunderous boom as described in some scriptures, or a quiet voice?   

In the Exodus, God’s voice was revealed through a powerful thunder. When He spoke to Moses through the burning bush, it was the same resounding voice.

Yet God whispered in Elijah’s ear in 1 Kings 19:12: “And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.”

Psalms 29:3-9 says, “The voice of the LORD is over the waters… The voice of the LORD breaks cedars… The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.” That’s an awe-inspiring picture of the power of God’s voice.

Throughout the Bible, God has spoken to His people in many ways. Today, He speaks to us through His word. Through prayer. Through songs. Through quiet medication and waiting for His answer.

In a world that is increasingly filled with noises that drag us away from His presence, God still speaks. We just have to listen.

So, take a moment today to stop and listen to the One who spoke the world into existence. Who whispers to you, “Let’s talk”.

Until next time, dear friends, many blessings!
