The Voice of God



The Next Voice You Hear



[I don't remember where I originally got this description of the movie]

Was a film made in 1950, the movie tells the story of the Joe Smith family, which has a typical amount of trials and tensions.

Then, one night, the voice of God speaks on the radio. But not just their radio—God’s voice is heard throughout the world on every radio, saying the same thing at the same time.

At first people react with disbelief, then fear.
After several days of hearing “The Voice,” however, people’s attitudes, actions, and priorities begin to change. As more messages come; come people respond positively and other people respond negatively.
The impact of what God is saying directly affects how they live their lives.

Sometimes people say, “If only God would talk to me in my life.
Then I would know what I should do and I would do it.

The problem however, is NOT, God speaking.
Why?  because God has spoken to us in His Word, The Bible, the inerrant, infallible Word of God.

The problem is our listening.
The psalmist desired to obey God’s Word “continually, forever and ever” (119:44). And James warned about ignoring it when he said, “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (James 1:22).

How would you respond if God began to speak to you on your radio? We can be thankful that God does speak to us—not on the radio but in the Scriptures.
The purpose of today’s message from Psalm 19 is to encourage us to alert enough to listen and wise enough to obey.
