Recently I took part in a video meeting with a large group of people, most new to me. As we introduced ourselves I cocked my ear when one man shared his name and job. His voice, low and smooth, sounded so perfect. I thought, wow, he should read audio books. Turns out, this gentleman hosts a radio show and a podcast. He puts his broadcast voice to good use.

David wrote about the ultimate voice: The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders…The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic…The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning. The voice of the Lord shakes the desert.

With only his voice, the Lord bounces mountains and shakes deserts like a rug. Power resides in every articulation.

In Genesis the Lord created the heavens and earth using only his voice. God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Elijah heard the voice of the Lord in the quiet, in silence, in a still, small voice.

God’s voice creates, God’s voice destroys, God’s voice delicately brushes my ear.

I wonder if I’m paying enough attention to notice?
