The Creative Power of God

"And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."
Genesis 1:3

Nearly everyone knows the story of creation. Even if they do not believe it, most still know the story. The Genesis story of creation has been repeated in various forms thousands of times. Other world religions recognize the story and even document it in their writings. It is not the creation story that I bring to our attention today, it is the story of how God created.
    The Bible tells us that God spoke everything into existence. He said, "Let there be light," and there was. He said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds," and they were formed. It is too incredible for us to understand. When God speaks, he always creates something. He did it at the beginning of the universe, and he is still creating, through the power of his words, today. Listen to these words from Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." God is still speaking today, and he is still creating.
    It seems we have overlooked this. Some think that God ceased to create things after he created our known universe and world. The first thing we need to understand is this: God is still speaking. He did not stop speaking after he created everything. In fact, that was just the beginning of his words. Second, we must know that every time God speaks, something is created. The power of God is so incredible that the sound of his voice causes things to happen..
    God may speak something to you today and create a new dream for you. He may answer your prayer and the need is completely filled. He may bring a word of direction to you and change the course of your life. he may speak a blessing over you and you will be completely fulfilled. God still does these things. He does them because he is actively involved in our lives. He is always speaking, and therefore creating new things. It is his nature. It is unexplainable, unfathomable, and beyond all comprehension. Yet, it is the joy of our Father to speak to his children. In doing so, he creates incredible things in us and for us. Believe him when he speaks to you, and watch the creative work of God firsthand.
