God's Glory is Thunderous.

When I hear thunder, I don't necessarily think of God. But scripture describes God's actions, His voice, His presence as thunderous. He inspires amazement, awe, and a healthy dose of fear and reverence.

1 Samuel 7:10
While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites.

2 Samuel 22:14
The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?

Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?

Job 37:5
God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.

Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the Lord on high is mighty.

But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.

Isaiah 29:6
The Lord Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.

Joel 3:16
The Lord will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the heavens will tremble. But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.

From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns."
