Unchanging Message

 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface.  Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” 

Genesis 1:1-3 (NLT)

From the beginning of time God has chosen to speak and be involved with his creation.  There is nothing more Important in life than hearing from God and obeying his voice.

The first chapter of Genesis, the very first book in the Bible, focuses on God speaking creation into existence.  “Then God said, ‘Let there be light.’”  Every single element of creation comes into existence through the word of God.  This emphasis that God has placed on speaking and on communication should underscore our need to hear from God.  Without God choosing to reveal himself to us, we would be deaf and blind to the reality of the world in which we live.  Without God’s revelation, we would be unaware of his expectations for us and of his provision for salvation.
