Psalms 29 - The Voice of God

2 Give to the Lord the glory his name deserves.
Worship the Lord in {his} holy splendor.
Psalms 29:2 (GW)

9 The voice of the Lord splits the oaks
and strips {the trees of} the forests bare.
Everyone in his temple is saying, “Glory!”
Psalms 29:9 (GW)

Reflection of B:

We always think that God only speaks in small still voice. But the above chapter brings alive the voice of God with loudness so overwhelming and showing forth His power and glory. I can even imagine seeing fireworks in the sky with the sound of thunder.

Sometimes, we also need God to 'shout' at us in order for us to hear His voice. He shouts by allowing things that may be unpleasant in our lives so that we can hear Him. In reality we tend to be quite 'deaf' when our lives are too smooth sailing.


Dear Lord,
I see Your glory and splendor tonight as I read the above Psalm. You are so powerful and great while I am so small and insignificant. Yet You have loved me and at times You need to speak loudly in order for me to hear Your voice. Teach me to recognise Your voice even when You speak softly to me. Guide my pathway, Lord.
In Jesus' powerful name I pray. Amen.
