"When God Speaks"

"The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters." (Psalms 29:3) It is believed by some that David penned this Psalm during a thunder storm, which could be absolutely true; however, God uses the common things of nature to express the way that He operates, and the ways that He reaches us. When God speaks, His voice demands some type of action; in other words, when His word goes out, it does not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Water is an interesting analogy to use for the way that His word goes forth, because water runs in many different directions and takes on many different forms, like ice, snow, mist, steam; even ragging and calm can be ascribed to water's form. As with Isaiah 55:10, where God uses water to describe the way that His word goes forth, it is not just limited to what that water falls upon, because what it falls upon will in effect change, and then that change will continue to give out and provide change in others. In the case of the thunders, as far as I can see, there is an audible property that is transferred from the thunder into the water; just as if the drops of rain captured the voice of the thunder as they passed through the reach of it's sound; causing multitudes of rain drops to drop down to earth, with the same vibrating message of His command. Which is pretty much how God speaks; because many people all over the earth will receive the same message at the same time; confirming, that it is God that is doing the speaking, and watering the earth with His message. Some people may not actually share the message that they receive from the Lord, which is why He sends it out to many people; but they know He has spoken, especially when they hear someone else declare the same message they had received. The other point, and one that is in line with my thoughts from yesterday, is that when it rains, it rains on both the good and the bad at the same time; in other words, God's word is not just intended for the good, but for all the people; some receive it, and some don't; and some, hold unto it and use it for another day..."So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall proper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11)
