What a privilege it is to hear the voice of God.
We never have to wonder, “Was that God talking to me, or the devil?”
This is breathtaking: we open His infallible Word and He speaks to us. His words are there, in written form, for all to read and digest.
But there’s more . . .
We can also be sure that everything God says is true because “God never lies” (Titus 1:2).
God will never be unfaithful to His Word. He will never break a promise. He will never fail to do what He said He would do because “He remains faithful – for He cannot deny Himself” (1 Timothy 2:13).
Yes, there are things that God cannot do. This is one of them: He cannot contradict or violate His own character.
This is huge. This is comforting. This brings peace to my unsettled soul.
Because I am listening to the voice of God through the Word of God, I am tasting the goodness of God. He is teaching me, and my anxious heart calms down. My worries melt away in the warm and gentle sunlight of God’s presence.
I shed tears of joy and gratitude because now He is with me. The Teacher is explaining the meaning of His Word in a way that makes sense. And I am no longer stressed out, on edge, or distraught.
My Shepherd has enabled me to lie down in a green pasture where I can eat and be satisfied in Him.
He has led me to still waters so I can drink deeply, quenching the thirst of my parched heart.
God is at work in me! And once again, I am no longer troubled because He has restored my soul by renewing my mind with His truth.
What a God. What a Book. What a Life.
What happened to Jeremiah has happened to me. Oh that it would happen with the same level of clarity and intensity every time.
“Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart.”
Jeremiah 15:16
