Psalm 29
Read Psalm 29 again and pay close attention to the word "voice". What is the voice of God? The psalmist says the voice of the Lord is powerful, majestic, strikes with flashes of lightning, shakes the desert, twists the oaks and strips the mountains bare. And then Psalm 33 says:

Psalm 33
“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.” “For he spoke and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.”
No doubt in our minds. Nothing happened by chance!

The voice of the Lord is heard in all creation. Everywhere we look we can hear the voice of the Lord, every time we take a breath, we hear the voice of the Lord. The language of God, his voice is the math and science of creation. His voice is heard from the intergalactic to the sub-atomic levels.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord," 
If we reflect on this verse and apply it to the United States, can we say that God is the Lord?  Can we say that He is blessing us now?  Would we be more blessed if we proclaimed from our government offices and our pulpits and pews that God is our Lord?

"No king is saved by the size of his army;"
Remember Gideon's small victorious army?  God wanted there to be no doubt that it wasn't the size and strength of the army that brought about the victory.  It was God who did it!

Psalm 65
As we reread this psalm, we thought about the words bounty and abundance.  When we contemplate streams of water, we think about Jesus as the Living Water.  When we contemplate grasslands and crops and grain, we think about Jesus as the Bread of Life.  So the words bounty and abundance don't necessarily have anything to do with material blessings, our spiritual blessings far exceed all material blessings!

Psalm 66
 "Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man's behalf!"
This language of God, His voice is for our benefit??? He invites us to speak back in praise to Him!

“For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
How does He refine us? He turns up the heat. How does He turn up the heat? He puts burdens on our backs. He puts trials in our lives. Why? To make us purer. Easier to take the trials of life knowing this isn't it?

“If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.”
We can cry out to Him, but if we harbor sin, will he listen??? Good reason to confess our sins when we go to Him in prayer.

Psalm 67
So often in the psalms praising Him is directly related to the blessings. God offers this promise attached to our praise. If we praise Him, He will bless us.

Psalm 68
"but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land."
As we read this verse, we couldn't help but contrast it to the verses in Psalm 65.  We as Believers in Jesus partake of the Living Water and Bread of Life in a land of bounty and abundance.  The rebellious live in famine and drought. Literally, the mid-eastern countries of Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, etc. all live in a sun-scorched land.  They don't have Jesus, even though His voice is speaking loud and clear.

Let's listen to His voice today. And praise Him that He is the Living Water and the Bread of Life and He provides us every spiritual blessing in abundance.
