Don't stop seeking the voice

Greetings:
The same God, who has power over all things, is the same God who takes care of his people – you and I.
He gives us strength when we need it, when we are weak and when we are overwhelmed.
The Lord can help us through any and every circumstance.
This same God, who has power over the chaotic waters, is the one who can give us peace in this chaotic world that we live in.
In Psalm 29 we read a powerful message about the glory and strength of God.
Several times in the psalm David mentions 'the voice of the Lord' to hammer home the theme of this psalm.
In the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible, Psalm 29:3-5, 7-9 reads:
"The voice of the LORD echoes above the sea.
    The God of glory thunders.
    The LORD thunders over the mighty sea.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
    the voice of the LORD is majestic. The voice of the LORD splits the mighty cedars;
    the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon...
The voice of the LORD strikes
    with bolts of lightning.
The voice of the LORD makes the barren wilderness quake;
    the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the LORD twists mighty oaks
    and strips the forests bare.
In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”
The  late Rev. Billy Graham once wrote, “How do we find peace with God? We must stop fighting! We must surrender! We must serve! Of course, these steps will be motivated by faith and mingled with love. Having found peace with God, next we experience the peace of God. This peace of God is not a mere abstraction advocated by preachers and theologians. Thousands of people can witness that they have actually experienced the peace of God and have found it wonderfully adequate for this present day.  For He is our peace.”
The voice of the LORD still speaks to believers boldly today, no matter what a misguided television mouthpiece for a 'left' political and moral agenda recently told our nation's vice president.
Thank the Lord for His strength, power, his voice and the many lessons he leave with us.
Be blessed.
