The REAL Voice...

Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare, and in his temple all cry, “Glory!” The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king forever. May the LORD give strength to his people! May the LORD bless his people with peace! (Psalm 29 ESV) God speaks. He has always spoken - among the Trinity, at creation, to His creation, and to His people. We do not listen very well. David sang what God spoke to King Saul, who did not listen well. He listened to the fears of his people and the evil spirit who bothered him, but not well to God. So David sang: "Listen to God speak. His voice is both powerful and peaceful at the same time. He is in control. He knows what He is doing. He is the real King, with the real voice worth listening to.
