Psalm 28
Lord, David calls You his rock, but says he cried out yo You for mercy and You heard and answered. Rocks are used a lot to describe You in scripture. You are solid, strong, and like a mountain-unmovable.
When I cry out to You, You answer me too. I have built my life on You, not on the shifting sand of the world.
You are my strength and sheild. My heart trusts in You. Knowing You are in control helps me so very much.
I praise You, Lord!
Psalm 29
Ascribe to the Lord glory due His name and worship Him in the splendor of His holiness!
Lord, with just Your voice You:
Are over the waters
Thunder
Break the Cedars of Lebanon
Strike with flashes of lightening
Shake the desert of Kadesh
Twist the mighty oaks and strip the forest bare
Are enthroned over the flood and are King forever.
Lord, had David just seen a mighty storm when he wrote this psalm? I have been through many storms in my lifetime and have seen Your power too. I have been through hurricanes, a tornado, a small earthquake, a direcho, a flood, several blizzards, and more thunderstorms than I can count. I have been under a tree when it was struck by lightening, and as a child had a lightening ball hit a tree go to the ground and chase me from the outhouse to my back porch!
The power of these storms was enormous! David says that they are just Your voice-not Your mighty hand- not some mechanized super storm maker- but just Your voice! I should not be surprised, I guess, because You spoke peace to the wind and waves on the Sea of Galilee, and they obeyed You.
Knowing You have such power gives me cause to praise You for my protection over all of these years through all of the storms, but also causes me to want to walk more worthy of Your calling in my life out of a healthy fear.
So many just here in the USA are suffering losses of epic proportions from tornadoes and are still trying to rebuild after hurricanes and earthquakes. Lord help them all to see that You also have the power to save them forever!
