Psalm 29- The Voice of the Lord

"Ascribe to the Lord, O mighty ones,
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 skip like a calf,
Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightening.
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."

Isn't that awesome.  The voice of the Lord is so powerful in this Psalm.  "The Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon."  The cedars of Lebanon were trees that grew to 120 feet tall and 30 feet around.  Breaking one of those would be like shattering a Red Wood.  Or "Sirion (skips) like a young wild ox."  Sirion was a mountain.  Can you imagine a voice that could make a mountain dance?

It's clear that the voice of the Lord is powerful.  It's also clear that His voice is just a part of Him.  What a mighty God we serve!  Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness today.
