Prayer – Lord, You are awesome. I recognize and acknowledge that You are powerful—Your very voice is powerful over all the earth and all of mankind. You give us strength, blessing us with Your peace. A peace that surpasses all understanding. You will reign forever and ever. Glory be to Your name. Glory be to You—King of kings and Lord of lords.
Honor the LORD, you heavenly beings; honor the LORD
for his glory and strength. Honor the LORD for the glory of his name. Worship
the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. The voice of the LORD echoes above
the sea. The God of glory thunders. The LORD thunders over the mighty sea. The
voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. The voice of
the LORD splits the mighty cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He
makes Lebanon's mountains skip like a calf; he makes Mount Hermon leap like a
young wild ox. The voice of the LORD strikes with bolts of lightning. The voice
of the LORD makes the barren wilderness quake; the LORD shakes the wilderness
of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD twists mighty oaks and strips the forests
bare. In his Temple everyone shouts, "Glory!" The LORD rules over the
floodwaters. The LORD reigns as king forever. The LORD gives his people
strength. The LORD blesses them with peace. Psalm 29:1-11
Snowcapped Mount Hermon.
Israel
What does God do? David gives us a list here in this Psalm exclaiming the power in just the voice of the LORD. His voice is:
Like thunder—echoing above the mighty sea.
Powerful.
Majestic.
Able to move mountains.
Causes earthquakes.
Rules over nature—trees splitting, lightning flashing, and floodwaters surging.
Declaring that He reigns forever.
Giving strength to people.
Blessing His people with peace.And His people respond to His voice by shouting “Glory!” Our God is an awesome God. He is worthy of honor and glory as we worship Him. One day we will see Him in all His glory reigning from His Heavenly throne. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Above all, the important thing that God has done for mankind is to offer salvation from our sins through the blood of Jesus—shed on the cross as a sacrifice once and for all.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
Our response to that gift of salvation will make a difference in where we spend eternity. Do you want to spend it with God or without Him? His voice is calling you to make a decision today. Trust Jesus and accept that gift of salvation…or reject Him and spend eternity in darkness or the Lake of Fire. The choice is yours. God gives you a choice…that is what God does.
Verses of Salvation ~ Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven. This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels. Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, "It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night. And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little time." Revelation 12:7-12 (Underlined for emphasis.)
