Well, I Declare!

Psalm 19:1-4

              The heavens DECLARE the glory of God; the skies PROCLAIM the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth SPEECH; night after night they DISPLAY KNOWLEDGE.There is no SPEECH or LANGUAGE where their VOICE is not HEARD. Their VOICE GOES OUT into ALL the earth, their WORDS to the ends of the WORLD.

   

The heavens are speaking, the sky is speaking, the day is speaking, the night is speaking. They have voices. Continually, day and night, there are words going out into the atmosphere everywhere declaring God, His handiwork, His knowledge, His Glory.

Then the verses say that where there is speech, it IS being heard. Not only that, but it is being heard through all the earth and to the end of the world.

We are spiritual beings with physical bodies.  We are created a spirit that has been sent from God, tuned into His wavelengths of communication.  He has chosen the spoken word to communicate His Glory. He has chosen the spoken word to communicate with us.  He has chosen the spoken word for us to communicate with Him. Even His non-human Creation declares! That is why, in the day of Judgment, man will be without excuse.  We are continually hearing.

God says in His Word that "death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those that love it will eat its fruit" (Proverbs 18:21). Speech from our tongue causes life or death. If we love what is spoken, good or bad, we will eat the product of that speech. Our words go on for infinity and reach the ends of the earth.  

When we read about praise and worship in the Word, it's about the fruit of our lips. Not the thoughts of our minds, but the lips. That means we have to open our mouth and speak out. 

God is about us declaring and proclaiming His Word. His very Creation declares it continually. We are His Creation. We speak life when we declare His Glory. We speak life when we declare His goodness. We speak life when we declare His love. And, when we love to declare that among the people, we eat the fruit of that LIFE...His goodness, His love, His presence.
