"What Is God's Voice Like?"

Psalm 29

Psalm 29 reminds us in lots of poetic imagery that the voice of the LORD is power.  The voice of the LORD can move the oceans, the voice of the LORD can make the forests shake, the voice of the LORD can do mighty things.

 And it leaves us humans in awe and wonder at the works that simply the voice of God can do.  But what, exactly, is the voice of God?  We can use our own poetic imagery in 2016 to imagine the voice of God in much the same way the psalmist does in this particular poetic rendering. And, actually, I invite you to do so. How would you describe the voice of God today?

The voice of God booms as loudly as the sound of the crowd at Mile High Stadium when Peyton takes the field.

The voice of God forces its way into my life like the sound of a cat insisting on being fed at 530 a.m.

You get the idea. The psalmist has an interpretation of the voice of God, which we will explore this Sunday in our first of a series on the Psalms and what God is like.  But we, too, have experiences with God's voice. Whether we believe it to be the still small voice in our hearts or the loud booming experience that makes us stand up and say "A-ha!" God does speak to us.
