Who’s voice do you value? The voice we value will be the voice we submit our wills to. The voice we value will be the voice we obey. The voice we value will be the voice we let lead us. The voice we value is of utmost importance.

Some people value the voice of science, others the voice of the media, some the voice of influencers or Hollywood, still others the voice of politicians or religious leaders. Whose voice do you value?

Voices in the earth are not mono they are multiple. When the voices we value are conflicting which voice triumphs over all other voices? The voice of family is valuable, the voice of friends carry weight, the voice of leaders add value and the voice of God is in the mix as well.

The voice inside of us is not our own it is a culmination of voices. Culture is a voice that most of us hear and don’t realize how much we capitulate to that voice. Books we read, movies we watch, podcasts we hear, news reports we run across, all have a voice that seed us daily, known or unknown.

Psalm 29 says, “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.”

I began to weep as I thought about how creation responds to the voice of God, while humanity stiffens its neck to Him. His voice is powerful, His leadership is enjoyable, His attitude is adventurous, His ways are identifiable, but to know all these things we must live with a yes to His voice.

The fear of the Lord is taking God seriously when He speaks. He doesn’t talk to just talk, He talks to lead us, guide us, counsel us, correct us, direct us, and promise us what He sees that we can’t yet. His voice is powerful, but it must be responded to.

We value so many voices, but do we value the voice of God? We each must answer this question. Creation responds to His voice, and Romans 8 says, Creation is eagerly awaiting for us to respond to it as well. Heaven and earth are waiting on us to respond to His voice, maybe today when you hear His voice, you will join creation in saying yes to the most valuable voice, the voice of God.
