Do you know someone who can stop anyone in their tracks with just their voice? Does that person have a commanding tone to their voice, even if it is not loud? Do they have the ability to make their voice loud as well? Do you give them your full attention when they speak?
There are some people who have a commanding voice. Some of them come by it naturally. Others have learned it through training. But when they speak, people will listen. In some cases, they can stop a person in their tracks, even if they do not speak loudly.
We sometimes hear narrators of commercials who have a commanding voice. There are people who make a good living with their voice. They do voice overs, become DJs on the radio, and even read books for audiobooks so we can listen rather than read. Most of these people have voices that grab our attention and retain it. But are their voices majestic?
God’s voice is powerful and majestic. He can stop or start anyone or anything with his voice. When he speaks, those who hear him are in awe. Is it any wonder the Israelites no longer wanted to hear him but told Moses to speak to God alone on their behalf? No. His voice was overpowering to them. He spoke straight to the heart.
Though we may not hear God speak audibly, we can still hear him speak through his word. He Word is just as powerful and majestic if we really listen to it. He only gives a few commands, but he provides a multitude of wisdom sayings—sayings that will make our lives much better. We merely need to open our ears (or eyes to read) to hear him speak.
I pray we all seek to hear God’s majestic voice. I pray we listen to him speak through His Word. I pray each one of us spend time reading God’s Word and listening for him to speak to our hearts. Hear God’s powerful voice. Listen for God’s majesty. Spend time in God’s Word.
Psalm 29:4
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
