As I was preparing for the study, this Psalm hit me a new...I sat in awe and amusement of what God showed me...
read it with me
Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.
The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.
The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning.
The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare.
The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
The LORD gives strength to his people;
The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace.
Notice how many things God can do just with His voice alone. Cedars are 120 feet tall trees and 30 feed wide! The oaks are called the kings of the forest and He can make them jump and He can twist them just at the sound of His voice alone! Doesn't even have to lift a finger! Mighty mighty God with a mighty mighty voice.
Here is what the LORD spoke to me about it: Lenna, look at all the things I do with the sound of my voice alone...yet people manage to mute Me in their hearts....I can melt the highest mountain, yet the hearts of men refuse to melt when I speak to them . I can break the strongest wall, yet humans refuse to break their hearts over their own disobidience.....I can twist the oak, yet people's heart remained unmoved when I speak to them......something is wrong with that picture"..... yet He chose to create us this way, so we can make a choice to listen to Him or not.
How often am I guilty of pushing mute on the remote control of my heart when God is speaking truth to me? How often have I ignored Him speaking when He used the mighty powerful voice?
O , Lord, the Word of God says that people have grown cold, hard , numb and deaf hearts - so true! Forgive me for not listening to You at times....I am hungry for fresh mercies this morning......
Speak to me, your servant is listening!

PS I have a Russian Worship tape made in the late 80's when my Mom worked with a group that helped send Bibles into Russia. I will have to find it. It is beautiful, and they say at the beginning, "Thank you, Elizabeth..." It is such a blessing to have!
