The words of the Lord...are the most powerful things in existence. The words of the Lord have the power to create something where there was once nothing; and just as easily they can take away.

More than any of that, though, God speaks his words for us. He speaks to us as a people and individually, constantly interacting with our hearts and drawing us to him.

"The Words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times." This psalm is talking about how the Words of God are absolute and final. In the beginning, David cries out to God about the injustice he sees. In response, God speaks. His words, his promises, they are end of a matter. What God says is what will be.

And these are the same words that he uses to talk to us. All we have to do is listen, and enter in conversation with the living God, whose words are perfect and complete.
