The Voice of the LORD is Powerful - Psalms 29:4

In Psalms chapter twenty-nine David said “The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters”, and in chapter twenty nine and verse four of Psalms David said, “the voice of the LORD is powerful”, where we read,

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The verse begins, The voice of the LORD is powerful;” David began with the words, “The voice of the LORD” which means “the sound and noise of proclamation and thunder belonging to Jehovah who is the exiting One and the proper name for the One True God” “is powerful” or “exists as mighty, strong, wealthy and full of force”. David declared Jehovah God's “voice” to be mighty and filled with force”.

The verse continues,the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. David added the words, “the voice of the LORD” which means “the sound and noise of proclamation and thunder belonging to Jehovah who is the exiting One and the proper name for the One True God” “is full of majesty” or “is filled and complete with ornament, splendor, honor and glory”. David declared Jehovah God's “voice” to be filled with “splendor, honor and glory”.

When we think through the words in this verse, we learn how David exalted the “voice” of Jehovah God. When God speaks, His “voice” is mighty and strong”, and when He speaks His “voice” is filled with “honor, glory and splendor”. In other words, God's voice is worthy of our recognition and adherence. Jehovah God declared that mankind is alienated and separated from a personal relationship with Him because He is Holy and people are sinful. He knew people needed a “Savior” who served as a mediator who could bridge the gap between them and Him. He sent Jesus into the world to die for the sins of mankind so they could have an intimate relationship with Him. God loves people, and when we yield to His Son Jesus, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life with Him and walk with us every day of our lives. Let us acknowledge Him and His voice and surrender to His plan of salvation for us and everyone who believes.

Next time David says, “the voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
