Shalom,


Psalm 29 is all about the voice of the LORD! Verses 3-5 and 7-9:


3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is upon many (great) waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 


7 The voice of the LORD splits and flashes forth forked lightning. 8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness tremble; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9The voice of the LORD makes the hinds bring forth their young, and His voice strips bare the forests, while in His temple everyone is saying, Glory!


This is the voice of the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible, Who is LORD over all other so-called gods! The heathen nations around Israel worshiped many things, including the "storm god" (baal). This Psalm reminds us that our God IS God! Amen! Where do we fit in this, with our New Covenant? John 10:27-28:


27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.


What should we do then? Verses 1-2:


1 ASCRIBE TO the LORD, O sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 2 Give to the LORD the glory due His Name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness or in holy array.


We are to tell to the world of His wondrous works AND of His awesome character! He IS love and life and light and every good thing! He IS the very best person we know! Amen! And His promise to us? Verse 11:


11 The LORD will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.


Amen! Here is Hillsong with "Adonai":




Shalom in Him!
