"That God is here and that He is speaking--these truths are back of all
other Bible truths; without them there could be no revelation at all. God did
not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided
minds. He spoke a Book and lives in His spoken words, constantly speaking His
words and causing the power of them to persist across the years. God breathed
on clay and it became a man; He breathes on men and they become clay. “Return ye children of men” was the
word spoken at the Fall by which God decreed the death of every man, and no
added word has He needed to speak. The sad procession of mankind across the
face of the earth from birth to the grave is proof that His original Word was
enough."
A.W. Tozer (The Pursuit of God)
The continued speaking of God in our lives amazes me. What also amazes me is that we somehow discount God's own voice in our lives as outdated our silenced. Do we not even realize that we only have "The Bible" because God spoke it in the first place. Do we not even realize that we exist because God spoke us into existence somehow. I love that - somehow. I may not ever learn the ins and outs of how God does things in the universe. I do, however, know that it all begins with the sound of His voice.
