And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. (Gen. 3:8 KJV)
Our God speaks: He has a Voice. Voice is a sound organized or produced by the vibration or motion of the larynx (vocal folds) by passage of air. It is the modulation of the vocal cords that produces the sound, tone and pitch that is produced in our voice. The voice articulates the sound produced by the vocal cords to express Words we use to communicate.
This unique feature or system that organizes and characterizes our vocal/speech system is a grand testimony to our Creator’s ingenuity and insight to invent a system so characteristically unique and necessary. Imagine our World without our voices; there will be little or limited method of expression, right to speech or freedom of speech will be unnecessary or irrelevant, there will be gruel effort to communicate, etc. The weirdness of no-voice is simply unimaginable.
Gaining insight to the inalienable and incorrigible grace to speech and expression through our Voices, it will be incongruent to imagine that the Creator who so insightfully and intelligently provided or equipped us with such a wondrous blessing as to have a Voice will be a muted being. A thought or notion as such will be a flagrant bewilderment. It is important to note and reverently assimilate the courageous grace of God veracity to speech and owning a Voice. It is cruel fatality to imagine that intelligent creatures as we (Humans) would be created by a Creator less intelligent; who would not speak, reason or express himself as we do or as might be expected better than we since He made us. The notice here is God has a Voice and can be heard. Praise the Lord.
The Bible accurately referenced as God’s inspired and documented script, aptly and incessantly reference the Voice expression of our great God and His inherent desire and passion to communicate with us (Man) throughout history – God speaks and we must know His Voice
Consider what the Bible says, “Listen to the Message that God is sending your way, House of Israel. Listen most carefully: “Don’t take the godless nations as your models. Don’t be impressed by their glamour and glitz, no matter how much they’re impressed. The religion of these peoples is nothing but smoke. An idol is nothing but a tree chopped down, and then shaped by a woodsman’s ax. They trim it with tinsel and balls, use hammer and nails to keep it upright. It’s like a scarecrow in a cabbage patch—can’t talk! Dead wood that has to be carried—can’t walk! Don’t be impressed by such stuff. It’s useless for either good or evil.” All this is nothing compared to you, O God. You’re wondrously great, famously great. Who can fail to be impressed by you, King of the nations. It’s your very nature to be worshiped! Look far and wide among the elite of the nations. The best they can come up with is nothing compared to you. Stupidly, they line them up—a lineup of sticks, good for nothing but making smoke. Gilded with silver foil from Tarshish, covered with gold from Uphaz, Hung with violet and purple fabrics—no matter how fancy the sticks, they’re still sticks. (Jer. 5: 1-9 MSG). The Creator is Alive.
Beloved, God speaks, He talks and He desires to communicate with you and me. He desires that we know and hear His Voice. He wants to engage us in meaningful conversation. Bible said, “And they heard the voice of the Lord God.” Let us awake to knowing and hearing His Voice too. Pray for this encounter.
