I Hear the Voice of the Lord in the Psalms

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1)
“Show me Your ways O Lord; teach me Your paths.  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on you will I wait all day.” (Psalm 25:4,5)
“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” (Hebrews 11:3)  He spoke and it was so!
“For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded and it stood fast.” (Psalm 33:9)
“For the Word of the Lord is right, and all His work is done in truth.  He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.  By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” (Psalm 33:4,5,6)
God is mighty in glory and strength.  We are to “worship Him in the beauty of holiness” (Psalm 29:2)
In Psalm 29 we read that God’s voice is over the waters.  The God of glory thunders over many waters.  The voice of the Lord is powerful and full of majesty.  The voice of the Lord is so powerful it breaks the cedars of Lebanon.  The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.  The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness.  The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the forest bare. 
God is the creator.  “Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him”. (Psalm 33:8)
“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth….Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.  I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalm 34:1,3,4)
In Psalm 34:7 and 8 I hear the Lord’s voice in His Word telling me that “the angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.  Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him”.
I trust the Lord.  I hear His voice.  I fear and reverence His Holy name.  His Word directs, comforts, and heals me.  He is my refuge and my hiding place; my strength, my joy, and my salvation.
