The Storm of Life
Through the centuries, people have responded to God in the beauties of nature. The smouldering glory of a sunset, the delicacy of a rose, and the chuckle of a crystal brook dancing over rocks leave many in awe of God’s power.
But what should we think about the brutal force of hurricane winds, splintering everything in their path? Timid souls run and hide from God’s power. Those with the courage of the psalmist watch the lighting split the night, and marvel that such a powerful God hears our prayers and rejoices in our praise.
The voice of the LORD…
All of you angels in heaven honor the glory and power of the LORD! Honor the wonderful name of the LORD, and worship the LORD most holy and glorious.
The voice of the LORD echoes over the oceans. The glorious LORD God thunders above the roar of the raging sea, and his voice is mighty and marvelous.
The voice of the LORD destroys the cedar trees; the LORD shatters cedars on Mount Lebanon. God makes Mount Lebanon skip like a calf and Mount Hermon jump like a wild ox.
The voice of the LORD makes lightning flash and the desert tremble. And because of the LORD, the desert near Kadesh shivers and shakes.
The voice of the LORD makes deer give birth before their time. Forests are stripped of leaves, and the temple is filled with shouts of praise.
The LORD rules on his throne, king of the flood forever. Pray that our LORD will make us strong and give us peace.
