A David psalm. Bravo, GOD, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, “Encore!”
In awe before the glory, in awe before God’s visible power. Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him!
GOD thunders across the waters, Brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness-GOD, across the flood waters.
GOD’s thunder tympanic, GOD’s thunder symphonic.
GOD’s thunder smashes cedars, GOD topples the northern cedars.
The mountain ranges skip like spring colts, The high ridges jump like wild kid goats.
GOD’s thunder spits fire.
GOD thunders, the wilderness quakes; He makes the desert of Kadesh shake.
GOD’s thunder sets the oak trees dancing A wild dance, whirling; the pelting rain strips their branches. We fall to our knees-we call out, “Glory!”
Above the floodwaters is GOD’s throne from which his power flows, from which he rules the world.
GOD makes his people strong. GOD gives his people peace.
It is almost impossible to picture thunder. You hear it, you don’t see it. In fact it is almost impossible to picture power either. You see the effect, you see the outcome but you don’t actually see the force behind it.
You hear the mighty thunder. It roars and rolls and instils fear at its sound The air vibrates in response. And then beautiful sparks of magnificent light. Power lighting up the sky. WOW! It sure grabs your attention.
So the thunder of God. The sound of God unleashing His mighty power. Enough to stop the heart of the strongest man. So powerful the whole earth catches its breath for the moment and then WOW we see the result.
God is a WOW God. When He speaks universes are formed, mountains fall down, evil quivers, demons flee, Creation pays attention. Then we see the the result. Salvation. healing, deliverance, provision, comfort, strength, freedom, peace.
He WOWs us with His thunder so that we will acknowledge Him and leaves us not in fear but amazed by His glory.
Let the unbeliever be terrified at the sound. But you and I, let us look and say WOW look what the Lord has done
