Job 37:1-14 NLT
My heart pounds as I think of this.
It trembles within me.
Listen carefully to the thunder of God’s voice
as it rolls from his mouth.
It rolls across the heavens,
and his lightning flashes in every direction.
Then comes the roaring of the thunder—
the tremendous voice of his majesty.
He does not restrain it when he speaks.
God’s voice is glorious in the thunder.
We can’t even imagine the greatness of his power.
“He directs the snow to fall on the earth
and tells the rain to pour down.
Then everyone stops working
so they can watch his power.
The wild animals take cover
and stay inside their dens.
The stormy wind comes from its chamber,
and the driving winds bring the cold.
God’s breath sends the ice,
freezing wide expanses of water.
He loads the clouds with moisture,
and they flash with his lightning.
The clouds churn about at his direction.
They do whatever he commands throughout the earth.
He makes these things happen either to punish people
or to show his unfailing love.
“Pay attention to this, Job.
Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God!

Oh, what an awesome God we serve!

When there is a mighty rain, don’t we do just what it says here? Don’t we stop and behold the wonder, the beauty, the fury of the natural elements of this world? We think deep thoughts of the beginning, Creation, the unfathomable, how huge God must be.

Yes, I do all that! I marvel at the wonder that God has set in motion by the speaking of His voice. What images are brought forth in my mind when I stand observing the heavy rain, the flash of lightning across the dark heavens, the crack of thunder that sets my nerves on excited edge, a blanket of snow dropping gently from on high…all these things are glorious and they are sent by God to nourish the planet, which reveals God’s meticulous caregiving, and his profound love for His creation! It fills me with awe. The scriptures also say that He has sent these things as a general judgment.

We need to always be careful that we live according to the standards of God so that when we behold these marvelous acts, we are never struck, but only always AWESTRUCK.

AWESOME GOD!

Alabaster:

Yes, there is a verse in Genesis that says:

"While the earth remaineth,
Seed time and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And summer and winter,
And day and night
Shall not cease."

(A great promise!)

Psalm 97

" <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV1984-15480">1</sup> The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice. <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV1984-15481">2</sup> Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV1984-15482">3</sup> Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV1984-15483">4</sup> His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV1984-15484">5</sup> The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV1984-15485">6</sup> The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory."

M:

I love the Psalms.

There is in the Psalms such a range of expression, spiritual experience and articulation of praise, that we in the church can very usefully use it (even though, I, for one, don't see the church and Israel as the same).

This is so true!! If I have only a short amount of time, I know I can flip to virtually any Psalm and be amazed. Any Psalm could be discussed and picked apart, written with such beauty and emotion. We see desperation, glorification, sadness, worthlessness, loneliness, thankfulness, ... It's all such great stuff! :yes

psalms are meant to be sung not just read.

Yes, look at David: sublime acknowlegdment of his Lord being seated at the right hand of Jehovah (Psalm 110); love for the Scriptures (Psalm 119); his penitential grief (Psalm 51): what a sheer range of feeling and expression!
