Psalms 147:15
He sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.
Tag: God Speaks - It IS Done!!
In this section of Psalm 147 we are being told that God is in control of weather; harvest; peace within the borders; ice and snow accumulations; nations; etc. The writer is telling us that the way God controls and commands the world is through His Word. God speaks and it happens. We never have to worry about life because God’s Word is quick and powerful. Note what the writer of Hebrews says about His Word:
Hebrews 4:12-13
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
The power of God’s Word is amazing. As we digest it we are empowered by it, to obey it. The Spirit of God uses God’s Word to correct us and help us. The Spirit of God has “anointed” us and teachers us through the Word of God:
1 John 2:27
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
God speaks and His Word quickly accomplishes the task it was sent to perform. In Isaiah, the prophet is speaking about the same command of God over the weather and says the following:
Isaiah 55:10-11
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
God commands the world. If He can command the world via His Word, we should allow Him to command us via His Word.
