Why do some think it so strange that God speaks or communicates in some manner? Surely plain reason tells us that He should be able to speak. Humans speak (some would say “too much”). Are they more able than their Maker? Is the great Creator of humans less able to speak? When people thought that God failed to notice their sins, the writer of Psalms reasoned with them in this way:
He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? (Psalm 94:9).
That logical thinking can continue, “Does He who made the tongue not speak? Can He who gave language not use it? If God chooses to use special messengers, can He not provide His messengers with clear speech?”
The Bible tells about the time God sent Moses to lead His people out of Egypt. When Moses had doubts, God reasoned with him in this way:
“Who has made man’s mouth?…Is it not I, the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak” (Exodus 4:11-12).
Moses, of course, could speak. He just worried that he could not speak well—his words might not be clear and well-chosen. God assured him that He, the Creator of the mouth and of speaking, could do what was needed for a clear message. If we have worried that God’s message is poorly given or is unclear, we can stop worrying. God not only communicates, He communicates very well.
