The concept of the Voice of God is central to understanding divine communication and guidance. The Voice of God is a powerful force, likened to thunder in Psalm 29, illustrating the immense power of His spoken word. At Mount Sinai, as described in Exodus 20, the Israelites were terrified by the Voice of God while He delivered the Ten Commandments, a sound so overwhelming that it shook them to their core, emphasizing the connection between voice, words, and power. Deuteronomy 4 further highlights this awe-inspiring event, noting the miracle that the people survived hearing such a voice. Though we cannot literally hear the sound of His Voice today, we perceive it through various means. As David expresses in Psalm 19, the heavens and firmament declare the glory of God, uttering speech and knowledge of Him across the world. His Voice speaks to us through the written word, the preaching of His truth by His ministers, the events of His providence, and sometimes through our own conscience. He expects His children to listen with understanding and apply His message immediately, without delay, as reinforced in Hebrews 3. A crucial link in this communication is the messenger of God, a true minister or preacher, who clarifies the divine message. As Paul indicates, faith arises from hearing the Voice of God through a duly ordained messenger. Only He who sends the message can designate who bears it, ensuring the message's authenticity. This role is vital, as the messenger gives sound to the Voice of God and His words, fostering repentance and belief. Under the Old Covenant, the Voice of God was in His prophets; under the New Covenant, it is transferred to His apostles. To reject their message is to reject Christ and the Father, while accepting and believing it instills the saving faith of Christ. In summary, the Voice of God manifests in His creation, His word, His prophets and apostles, and His ministry when they align with His word. Our salvation hinges on yielding to this Voice, as it represents the spirit and life that Jesus spoke of, essential for possessing the faith of Christ.

Examining Tychicus, the companion and helper of Paul, we see many godly actions and characteristics like eagerness to serve and bringing the comfort of his news to congregations underlying his role of messenger that we should emulate. Ephesians 6: 21-22 shows that he had a larger role than the just delivering the messages; we see that he came to strengthen the hearts of brethren. Even though there are not too many references mentioning him, he had a large impact on the congregations he does visit. The apostle Paul made use of his services that he was eager to assist him building the faraway churches. Those far away locations involved traveling on ships, hostile countries, and navigating different cultures. Even though Tychicus did not have an important title, he exemplified whatever position we are given we should be quickly willing to serve God and the brethren and sometimes go outside our comfort zones to fulfill our calling.
