The presence of anyone without hearing their voice is a worrying thing. “Who’s there?” or “What do you want?” are questions that probe the unknown. What is true of people is even more true of God. The presence of God without the word of God is a deeply troubling and foreboding eventuality.
The God of the Bible is a God who speaks. He does not leave us to divine in the dark to discern what our response should be.
It was by the word of the Lord that the heavens and the earth, the land and the sea and everything who dwells there was brought into being. The voice of God continues to be heard.
The language here likens the voice of the Lord to a storm.
This is the twenty ninth of a series that began life as a commitment to Counting my Blessings every day after ankle surgery on July 2nd 2021.

Later on in the 100 days I began to also reflect on other scriptures and combine those into my public post
These thoughts from Psalms earlier in the journey have not been made public until now as I was writing primarily for my own benefit. I have been encouraged to share these now.
