"GOD SPOKE!"

Hebrews 1:1-4                     (ESV)
"1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, "GOD SPOKE" to our fathers by the prophets,
2 but in these last days HE has spoken to us by HIS SON, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also HE created the world.
3 HE is the radiance of the glory of GOD and the exact imprint of HIS nature, and HE upholds the universe by the word of HIS power. After making purification for sins, HE sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 having become as much superior to angels as the name HE has inherited is more excellent than theirs."


The reverence for Almighty GOD continues to dwindle in today's society.  The apparent lack of respect for the ONE who "spoke" the heavens and the earth into existence grows more evident with every passing day.  If we REALLY believed that GOD is WHO HE says HE is and has done the things HE says HE has, there would be FEW empty seats in any church every day!

In Hebrews 1:2 scripture points out "in these last days HE has spoken to us by HIS SON", yet we rarely listen to HIS voice trying to instruct us.  In Acts 17:11 "Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with ALL EAGERNESS, EXAMINING the Scriptures DAILY to see if these things were so."

How many times do I sit down with ALL EAGERNESS and EXAMINE scriptures to see what my CREATOR might be saying to me at that moment?  Dr. Charles Stanley says "You say you don't have time for that?  GOD can lay you flat of your back for a couple of weeks, then we will see if you have time?"  It has been said "you MAKE time for what is important to you"!  What is important to you today?

GOD desires a relationship with us.  HE so desired a relationship HE became flesh to provide  a payment for the sins that I was unable to pay.  And all HE requires is that I admit that HE is WHO HE says HE is and that I honor HIM with my whole being!  My spirit has the privilege of getting to commune with the CREATOR!  How special is that?

On September 02, 2000 my family was selected to visit with then Governor of Texas George W. Bush on his campaign airplane.  He was campaigning to become the President of the United States.  We had our picture with him made on his airplane that day. As most know, he was subsequently elected as President, so that photo became a keepsake.  Having that picture made was a great privilege!  But I want EVERYONE to know I have a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with the ONE who "SPOKE" the worlds into existence!  Because "GOD SPOKE", the worlds became reality, and because GOD still speaks I have an opportunity to hear HIM today!  I need to make a deliberate choice to SLOW DOWN and listen to HIM!
