Like an earthquake ripping across the wilderness, stripping the forest bare in judgment, God’s word strips off masks and reveals secret sins.
The voice of the Lord melts hearts, consumes lusts, and destroys sinful works.
God’s word doesn’t leave you naked or alone.
The voice of the Lord brings cleansing waters of redemption every moment to wash away your sins. His word washes you white as snow.
God’s word places a new song in your life so that you can sing, dance and leap for joy like a little child.
Then the voice of the Lord kindles a holy flame of love and devotion.
The voice of the Lord causes us to raise our hands in praise and cry “Glory!
Do you hear the voice of the Lord who sits enthroned in the heavens above the cacophony of sounds clamoring for your attention in our modern, hyper-connected world?
Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is majestic.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightning.
The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord twists the oaks
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord is enthroned as King forever.
The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.
(Psalm 29)
