The Voice of God

Too often I hear people complaining about not being able to hear God's voice in their lives. We have all done it. We claim that we are waiting to hear Him speak before we make our next move.

Why is it that we "can't hear His voice"? Is he not speaking loud enough? Does he need to change His methods of revealing His will to us? Is He not even speaking at all?

After reading through some of the Psalms this summer, I came across Psalm 29:3-9.

³ The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
   the God of glory thunders,
   the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
⁴ The voice of the LORD is powerful;
   the voice of the LORD is majestic.
⁵ The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
   the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
   Sirion^[b] like a young wild ox.
⁷ The voice of the LORD strikes
   with flashes of lightning.
⁸ The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
   the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
⁹ The voice of the LORD twists the oaks^[c]
   and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

It's not that God isn't speaking loud enough. It's not that He needs to change his method of revealing His will to us. It's not that He is quiet.
The truth is that God is yelling for us! His voice is powerful and majestic. Unlike any of our voices. It is like the thunder and the lightening and it shakes the deserts.

So then if it is that loud, why can't we hear Him? Have we ever actually listened? Because He is yelling.
