Power
We seem to have had more than our fair share of storms in recent weeks. They serve as a reminder of the awesome power of nature in its rawness.
This Psalm points us to the power of God – an awesome power. Though whilst we feel powerless against the storm, we are reminded that God in his power, gives us his strength and his peace.
Psalm 29 (CEV)
(A psalm by David.)
The Voice of the Lord in a Storm
29 All of you angels in heaven,
honor the glory and power
of the Lord!
2 Honor the wonderful name
of the Lord,
and worship the Lord
most holy and glorious.
3 The voice of the Lord
echoes over the oceans.
The glorious Lord God
thunders
above the roar
of the raging sea,
4 and his voice is mighty
and marvelous.
5 The voice of the Lord
destroys the cedar trees;
the Lord shatters cedars
on Mount Lebanon.
6 God makes Mount Lebanon
skip like a calf
and Mount Hermon
jump like a wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord
makes lightning flash
8 and the desert tremble.
And because of the Lord,
the desert near Kadesh
shivers and shakes.
9 The voice of the Lord
makes deer give birth
before their time.
Forests are stripped of leaves,
and the temple is filled
with shouts of praise.
10 The Lord rules on his throne,
king of the flood forever.
11 Pray that our Lord
will make us strong
and give us peace.
