I am learning some really important facets about God, from the "First Testament," in my OT class. This one strikes me in particular. Genesis 1 uses "God Said" 10X. Understanding that Genesis shows us many things about the character of God, it is evident that God wants to communicate, terribly, with his creation.
What is even more humbling is that the Hebrew word used, in Genesis 1, for God is Elohim or "one supreme deity." It may be old hat for some, but is this not incredibly powerful? Elohim, the sovereign Creator, King, and Judge has a desire to talk with us, to walk with us, and to MAKE within us a new creation.
I urge you, in all the hustle and bustle of talking ABOUT God, don't forget to talk TO God. To ask God, "how am I treating you impersonally today?"
