Voice

Man holding microphoneI used to watch the TV showed called “The Voice”. It was a show about finding the best voice out of a competition that spanned the whole USA. The contestants would “show off” their voice by singing many different styles and genres of music.  The other voice is one we speak with. I have different voices that I use to speak to others. I have an “excited voice”; “stern voice”; “happy voice”; “sad voice” – the list could go on and on.

My voice is a MAJOR way of communicating with others. I have a bit of a southern accent to my voice, but I do know lots of words to use when communicating with others.  King David speaks of the “voice of The Lord” and tries to describe His voice. Check this out….

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;

    the God of glory thunders,

    the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;

    the voice of the Lord is majestic. (Psalm 29:3-4 NIV)

 

I can hardly imagine what it would be like to not have a voice. I’ve grown up my whole life talking and singing. I love to sing. I love to talk.  (I can hear some “amen’s” in the back ground!) Our words should be thought out and measured some before saying them. The Words of God are Powerful and speak deep into my soul. I should think about the power of words to build up or tear down.  James says a lot about the “voice” as he speaks about the tongue. Check this out…

7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. (James 3:7-8 NIV)

I’m writing the above words, but I could easily “speak” them. My journey with the Lord gives “voice” to my life. I’m going to keep reading ,  keep writing, and speaking with the voice God gave me.

Pressing On!
