The Voice of God

Click here to listen to blog

All you angels in heaven,

honor the glory and power

of the Lord!

 

Honor the wonderful name

of the Lord,

and worship the Lord

most holy and glorious.

 

The voice of the Lord

echoes over the oceans.

The glorious Lord God

thunders above the roar

of the raging sea,

and his voice is mighty

and marvelous.

 

The voice of the Lord

destroys the cedar trees;

the Lord shatters cedars

on Mount Lebanon.

 

God makes Mount Lebanon

skip like a calf

and Mount Hermon

jump like a wild ox.

 

The voice of the Lord

makes lightning flash

and the desert tremble.

And because of the Lord,

the desert near Kadesh

shivers and shakes.

 

The voice of the Lord

makes deer give birth

before their time.

Forests are stripped of leaves,

and the temple is filled

with shouts of praise.

 

The Lord rules on his throne,

king of the flood forever.

 

Pray that our Lord

will make us strong

and give us peace.

Psalm 29

A big, burly man with a tiny high pitched voice seems really odd. Also a very small man with a large booming voice is not to be expected. But what kind of voice does God have? Is the voice of God loud and blustery, or is it simply strong and majestic? Is God's voice like thunder or is it a "still, small" voice that speaks to your heart?

Is hearing the voice of God a "once in a lifetime" occurrence or is it a regular part of your day? Does God say the same things to everybody, or does He have a personal word for you? Does God only speak to you about significant and earth shaking matters or does He notice the bird that flew into your window and was stunned for a few minutes?

Sometimes the voice of God may be a thought that seems to come to your mind from nowhere. His voice may be frightening and upsetting, or it may be sweet and comforting.
The voice of The Lord is everywhere in all of His creation. It was God's voice that proclaimed our very existence and it was so!

"Dear Lord, I have talked so much and listened so little to Your voice. Help me to hear Your voice when it is very loud and when it is soft and quiet. Thank you Lord that I can read Your Word and hear Your voice, and one day, maybe soon I will also see Your face! Amen."
