Psalm 29 In ascribing to the Lord glory, strength and worship... David gives us a vivid description of the "voice" of God:
His voice "is upon the waters".
His voice thunders.
His voice is powerful.
His voice is majestic.
His voice breaks cedar trees.
His voice shakes mountains.
His voice "hews out flames of fire."
His voice shakes the wilderness.
His voice makes the "deer to calve".
His voice "strips the forest bare."

This is the voice of the Lord, the King of Glory.  The One who reigns forever.  The Lord who gives "strength to His people."  The Lord Who blesses "His people with peace."

The Lord, Yahweh, is the King of kings.  All the "mighty",  all those who are powerful on the earth, must acknowledge and bow before Him.  Glory and strength are His.  No matter what kind of person you are, no matter how powerful or wise, rich or famous.... glory does not belong to you.  Worship the Lord God.. and Him alone.  The voice of the Lord is heard in the crash of thunder.  It is felt in the seismic waves.  His power is experienced by all of nature and all of mankind. (whether we acknowledge it or not!)
And we are commanded to give Him the honor and glory due His Name. 

Father in Heaven,  Almighty God,  Lord and King,  we honor You.  All power and wisdom is Yours.
All of creation has come from You.  Spoken by You.  You are magnificent and beautiful, mighty and strong. You are full of glory!  Always good and always righteous.  You reign over all the heavens and all the earth.  Fill our hearts with understanding of Your Majesty.  That we might truly worship You correctly and fully. Lord, open our eyes that we might see You.
Amen.
