186 - "God Speaks Once; I Hear Him Twice" Psalm 59-65

This is a rough patch that I am in. I came to the Word today so needing a word. When I happened on Ps 59:9, it took my breath away: "My God in His lovingkindness will meet me." Not because of my performance or lack thereof, but because of His Love. Wait only on Him. This morning I read Revelations 19 about the day we live for. When God stops the sun from rising and shuts this groaning world down and rides into our lives forever. He will stand on this earth. And His Name ... Rev 19:13 says, His Name is the Word of God. "My soul waits in silence for God only." O my soul, wait in silence for the Word of God alone. Ps 62:1 . "Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him." Ps 62:8 The Living Word longs to meet us. I'm way too wrapped up in what's happening here. God spoke once; Twice I heard this: Power belongs to God. Lovingkindness is His. Ps 62:11. Immaculate. Immutable. Invisible. Incomprehensible. God doesn't need to speak twice. He speaks once and things happen. He commands a world and it stands fast every single day. We speak and sometimes we do not have much to say. God speaks and it is done. In Latin, the meaning for twice means "uncertain." We hear again and again the sound of God's Voice through Creation, Sovereignty, Providence, The Word. May we keep on hearing this One Word: God is powerful and full of love. May His thunderous Voice echo again and again and again both of these truths. PHOTO: All 4 of you children have heard God speak once. May you hear Him twice.
