Who is Speaking into Your Life?

At the very beginning of time, God SPOKE creation into existence! He literally spoke life. Not only that, He said that what He had spoken into existence was good and made well.

Does that speak as loudly to anyone else as it does to me? This means that our words matter. We are created in God’s image, the One who speaks life!

Proverbs 18:21 tells us that our “words are so powerful that they will kill or give life.”

People will always have opinions — sometimes kind, sometimes not-so-kind, and sometimes so far from the truth we wonder if they’ve confused us with someone else entirely.

But here’s the good news: while we can’t control who talks about us, we can absolutely choose who we allow to speak into our lives. And that choice makes all the difference.

Voices are everywhere. Some cheer us on. Some drag us down. Some leave us scratching our heads. But there is one voice that never wavers, never confuses, never condemns — and that is the voice of God.

When we root our identity in who God says we are, we gain something the world can’t touch — and that’s stability! “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1)

And that is who we are. That’s not just a title. That’s our identity — beloved, chosen, redeemed!

Imagine walking into a room where everyone’s talking at once. It’s loud, confusing, chaotic. But then, in the middle of the noise, you hear the familiar voice of someone you love. You tune in, and suddenly the noise fades. That’s what it’s like to let God’s Word be the voice that speaks into our lives.

It doesn’t mean we ignore wise counsel or loving correction, but if it doesn’t line up with who God says we are — fearfully and wonderfully made, forgiven, beloved — then we don’t let it take root.

So let’s choose wisely. Let’s quiet the critics, silence the lies, and lean into the voice of the Shepherd. Because when He speaks, He speaks life.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)

We can’t control who talks about us, but we can choose who speaks into us. Tune in to God’s voice — it’s steady, loving, and true.
