Magnificent voice


Ring! Ring!! She picks up the phone. “Hello! Good morning”, she said. The caller responded in like manner. “Ah! Yinka! How are you doing?”, she asked. Yinka, amazed that his friend was quick to recognize his voice, asked her, “How did you know I was the one?” Then she responded, “I know your voice”.

I have a friend whose voice is close to the masculine line. It’s so close that when she speaks in the female hostel of our school, the ladies would quickly wrap up thinking there was a man in the hostel at the time that was not the visiting hour.

The Psalmist in Psalm 29 also recognized that God’s voice is powerful and magnificent and he was quick to tell us that God’s voice is over the waters, powerful and majestic. The voice breaks the cedars, strikes with flashes of lightning, shakes the desert, twists the oaks and strips the forest bare. Wow! Stripping a forest bare?? Awesome!

What a better understanding. Got any problem? Let Him speak. When we ask God to speak into any situation, we know that He will shake the situation up, break its bars, twist its oak and strip it bare. How great is our God.

Everything God does is marked with simplicity and power- Tertullian
