This is
one of my all-time favorite verses in the Bible and has been for many years. But
this time when I read it, I had a whole new outlook on it.
The
Amplified version gives us a bit more info to go off of. One particular juicy
tid bit is the part about SONGS AND SHOUTS OF DELIVERANCE. Ok so just now the
thought hits me, first of all why does God even need to shout? This is a God
who literally speaks things into existence. I imagine He can just point or even
think it & it will be done. So, what is the need for shouting here? That is
when I looked up the meaning of the word SHOUT
SHOUT – verb -
(of a person) utter a loud call or cry, typically as an expression of a strong
emotion.
We all know that there have been times in our lives where
shouting was either necessary or a result of a very intense situation. The
reason for our shouting in every day life will be strong emotion, either in anger,
deep sorrow, love or extreme joy. For instance, have you ever been in a
situation where you loved an individual so intensely that you felt the need to
shout to get a point across or to get them to understand you or even to stop
doing whatever? Also, have you ever stopped to think about how intense God’s
love for us is? He loves us so deeply that it is simply humanly impossible for
us to comprehend the vastness & extent of His love for us. So, in this
particular verse, I believe that God is shouting because of His great love for
us. He is shouting over us resolutions to conflicts, ideas to solve problems,
speaking answers to prayers, speaking miracles into our lives or giving orders
for his angels to go & protect you from a particular individual or
circumstance that we have no control over. Can you imagine the Creator of man
& the universe, needing to shout anything? If we could even possibly hear
that shout it would probably cause major if not fatal injury due to the
intensity. I sit here & imagine Him shouting over me numerous things in my
life to the point that His voice is all that I can hear. It drowns out all of
the lies, deception & destructiveness that the enemy tries to speak over
me. There is absolutely no way that the enemy’s voice can override or silence the
voice of my God, my Abba Father.
So, take heart today, that whatever situation you may be
in, God is shouting over you & your life. As a result, you will experience
deliverance.
Trust in Him today that He loves you enough to
NOT be quiet when it comes to you & your life
