1 Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings;
honor the Lord for his glory and strength.
2 Honor the Lord for the glory of his name.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea.
The God of glory thunders.
The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is majestic.
5 The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars;
the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a calf;
he makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord strikes
with bolts of lightning.
8 The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord twists mighty oaks
and strips the forests bare.
In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”
10 The Lord rules over the floodwaters.
The Lord reigns as king forever.
11 The Lord gives his people strength.
The Lord blesses them with peace.
Psalm 29
Key Verse: “The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.” Psalm 29:4
How many voices are competing for your attention every day? You can listen to your own voice, the person who is talking to you, the radio, the computer, the telephone, the advertisements, the movie, the people sitting next to you, the television, or many other options. Do you realize how you are bombarded with noise?
There is one voice that is majestic, true, gracious, powerful, and trustworthy. Listen closer to God’s voice by eliminating distractions. Value His voice more than any other voice. Follow His voice with all of your heart. Tremble before His voice with full respect. Savor His voice and His personal guidance. Praise God for His voice which He used to create all we have. There is no voice like His voice.
