The voice of the Lord

The voice of the LORD is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, Yes, the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth, And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, "Glory!" - Psalm 29v3-9

There are a lot of voices calling out to us these days. It is like we are in a crowded room and everyone is screaming out for our attention. The picture that comes to mind is when a celebrity appears before the press and all the the reporters are doing all they can to ask their own question. It is utter chaos.

It can be hard to know which voice to pay attention to.

There is however one voice that stand out from the crowd.

'The voice if the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.'

It is the still small voice that spoke to Elijah in his state of severe depression. It is powerful. It is full of majesty. But it doesn't have to be loud. By it very quietness it demands attention. A true voice of authority does not have to scream. It is the voice that simply says, 'let there be light.'

The voice of the Lord is the voice of the Shepherd calling His sheep.

It is that voice that we choose to follow.

'My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.'

Whose voice are we going to heed today?
