We cannot have a right conception of God unless we think of Him as all-powerful, as well as allwise. He who cannot do what he will and perform all his pleasure cannot be God. As God hath a will to resolve what He deems good, so has He power to execute His will.
…
“God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this, that power belongeth unto God” (Ps. 62:11). “God hath spoken once”: nothing more is necessary! Heaven and earth shall pass away, but His word abideth forever. God hath spoken once: how befitting His Divine majesty! We poor mortals may speak often and yet fail to be heard. He speaks but once and the thunder of His power is heard on a thousand hills. “The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave His voice; hailstones and coals of fire. Yea, He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then the channels of waters were seen and the foundations of the world were discovered at Thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils” (Ps. 18:13-15).

Attributes of God – AW Pink
Hi BW!
Once again we are on the same wavelength in our posting! (I was reading quotes by A.W. Pink today and posting on God’s Sovereignty.) I love Psalm 62:11 and what you quoted, “God does not have to speak twice. He speaks but once and the thunder of His power is heard on a thousand hills.” His power, His faithfulness to His Word, How great He is!
Blessings,
Wendy

Wendy,
Funny how often we do that!
That verse is so interesting. Reminds me of how often I need to speak more than once when giving instructions to my children. 🙁 Yet the Lord speaks and it is done. Everything and everyone listens to the Lord speaking.
