We Need PSALM Fine Tuning...

Psalm 29 mostly focuses on the voice of the Lord. As seen in psalm 29, v3-9 describes the voice of the Lord.
3The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"

Just from these 7 verses, it can be gathered that the Lord’s voice is powerful and majestic. Not only that, the Lord’s voice can be heard everywhere and the effect of the Lord’s voice will indeed be resounded to the ends of the earth. This means that everyone is actually able to hear His voice.

I was reminded of 2 things after reading psalm 29.
1. The Lord will always hear our cry when we call out to Him
2. We may fail to recognize the voice of the Lord.

There maybe times where the Lord’s voice maybe still yet distinct while at other times it can be as loud as thunder. Though the Lord’s voice maybe loud at times, we are actually capable of shutting Him out and dismissing His voice as just another sound that we hear in our lives. We really need to put in the effort to tune in to God’s voice as we are often preoccupied with the distractions of this world. It takes time to recognize the voice of the Lord and we can only train ourselves in hearing His voice by spending time with Him.

I believe that God of psalm 29 is reminding us that the Lord is enthroned as King forever and that He is our source of strength, the God who wants to bless us with peace. I am glad to know that when I tune in to His still voice, the many blessings that the Lord wants to bless me with will indeed overflow like honey.

God has many things to say and many things that he wants to bless you with. So would you settle your heart today to listen to what God has to say to you? Let us be tuned in to the GOD FM today.
