“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). These are the very first spoken words in the Bible (and in fact, the sound wave pictured reflects this bible verse). In the original Latin Vulgate translation, the words are: “Dixitque Deus: Fiat lux. Et facta est lux.” In the beginning, God spoke life over all the earth, with His own voice He brought all creation into being. Those first sound waves rippled across the entire universe and showed us the effect and power that words can have over our lives. If anything, the Lord is showing us how we use our voice matters, what we say matters. Are you speaking life?
