Psalm 33:6-9

By the Lord’s decree the heavens were made; by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created. He piles up the water of the sea; he puts the oceans in storehouses. Let the whole earth fear the Lord! Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him! For he spoke, and it came into existence, he issued the decree, and it stood firm.

The word of the Lord is a creating agent. His word is able to infuse us with courage, shatter the power of lies in our life, uproot the footholds and strongholds in our lives, and transform us in a lasting way. The very creation that surrounds us every day is the product of the word of God. Genesis 1:3 says, “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” Throughout Genesis 1, this is the theme: God speaks, and what He speaks is created. Isaiah 55:11 says, “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
