A Note from a Sister

These are just some thoughts in light of Dick's message this week.

v.4 "The Voice of the Lord is Powerful" ~ I think of this Psalm (below) like one that David is reflecting on God speaking through the storm. Honestly, sometimes thunder scares me because of it's force and power as it breaks through the air, warning all who hear it. Imagine God speaking in such a way that we can hear His voice in each trial or burden. His voice thundering through with wonderful promises from His Word. We wouldn't be scared of our Heavenly Father necessarily, but rather our eyes would be opened more to the Power and Might of our God and we would be left with such an awe that won't allow you to trifle with God. What a mighty God we serve!

Another verse that has stood out to me this week is Isaiah 64:4
"For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear,
Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him."

God acting on our behalf! Who else has a God who does this! This verse tells us- No One has! A God who speaks and acts and changes every situation- by saving someone, by sparing a loved one's life, by simply granting grace for us to endure a hardship.

Ascribe to the Lord Glory Due His Name today, sisters! He is worthy!

Psalm 29 (New American Standard Bible)

The Voice of the LORD in the Storm.

A Psalm of David.
 1   Ascribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
 2   Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to His name;
Worship the LORD in holy array.
 3   The voice of the LORD is upon 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 majestic.
5   The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6   He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion like a young wild ox.
7   The voice of the LORD hews out flames of fire.
8   The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;
The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9   The voice of the LORD makes the deer to calve
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everything says, "Glory!"
10   The LORD sat as King at the flood;
Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.
11   The LORD will give strength to His people;
The LORD will bless His people with peace.
