Light Be!

Today, I went to my regular doctor to get some suggestions on sleeping (as I am having a difficult time) and of course, his answer was more drugs and at a greater strength, so here I sit at 2:53 AM, having taken the prescribed drugs at the greater strength, but for some reason, I feel nothing more than, I suppose "Lethargic"(sp?) but cannot sleep.

Then God reminded me that I was reading through a book on one of my favorite books (Genesis) and I thought about a phrase that I read last night and wanted to share it.  (Quoting) "God said, Light be, and light was.  Nobody, even today, can tell us what light is.  We know what light does, but not what light is.  It is one of the most mysterious entities in the universe.  In physics it has become the new absolute. And as such, it is at the heart of the famous equation "E=mc2" (energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared) which in turn, ushered in what we know today as the "atomic age" (end quote).

God said, "Light be and light was."  That says something very important to me.  God's Words are not only legislative but they are very much "executive".  When the President of the United States sits down to sign his name to a bill passed by the legislative branch of the Government it becomes "executive".  Jesus woke from a sound sleep to "calm the seas" and it became not only legislative but executive as well.  His voice saying, "Peace, be still" was not only written into law but it became an "executive" order by the creator of the universe Himself.

When we speak, are our words pondered as legal statements?  When we attempt to explain to another that Jesus Christ is Lord, do we speak with the authority as though we have just written, proposed, and signed into "executive order" that Jesus Christ IS INDEED Lord and that is fact?

It reminds me of a sermon I wrote a couple of years back which I titled "My Resume" (I'll explain later).  Does our "yay" mean "yay" and our "nay" mean "nay"?  If not, then perhaps we could learn a valuable lesson from the first Chapter of Genesis where God said, "Light be" and light was.
