Selected Notes
Volume 2 Number 36 “The Awe of Knowing That God Simply Spoke”
September 4, 2019

One of Karen’s favorite places for us to visit was the Miller Road Park in Lorain, Ohio. This is a beautiful park that overlooks Lake Erie. We loved to stand on the pier, talk with those who were fishing, and then sit together and watch the sunset over the Great Lake.

One night as we watched the sun setting, the skies blazed in amazing colors of reds and yellows. It was stunning. I remember that as we snuggled and watched the western skies, she whispered to me, “He simply spoke, and it happened. Think of it, Honey. He simply spoke.”

Karen never lost the sense of awe in thinking about our Lord’s awesome authority and ability demonstrated by His speaking. Let me share the verse from her Bible study journal and then I’ll share with you what she wrote.

“For with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37).

Karen wrote: “There is power in the spoken word of the Lord. God is omnipotent! He has all power over all things. Let’s look at a few examples from the Bible that show the power exhibited in His spoken word alone.

1. Genesis 1:1-27 His creation and it was so.
2. Mark 4:36-29 He stilled the tempest.
3. John 11:43-44 He raised Lazarus from the dead.
4. Matthew 21:19 He blighted the fig tree.
5. Matthew 9:1-7 He forgave sins.”

Michael’s observation: All these humanly impossible situations were easily accomplished by our awesome Lord simply speaking. Nothing is impossible when it comes to the Lord and His authority. I’m glad to belong to such a Lord. How about you?
