The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The Lord is over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars,
Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also skip like a calf,
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire. vv.3-7

Read chapter 29
The voice of the Lord is powerful indeed! When God speaks, things happen. The voice of the Lord in this chapter is described like a world wide storm, like what literally happened in the flood during Noah's day of thunder and earthquakes over the whole earth. So God's mighty voice when He speaks, all the earth will hear and fear. It'll be heard by all men -"over the waters," it will reach all people- "powerful," all governments -"full of majesty." It will humble the rulers- "breaks the cedars," and break great nations -"divides the flames of fire." It even shakes the barren places- "the wilderness" and cause fear- "makes the deer give birth." In this day of silence of God, we eagerly wait expectantly for God to speak and break His silence and the whole world to know and fear the one and only God. Speak Lord and bring your Kingdom!
What do you most want to happen once the voice of the Lord is heard?
