Scripture Lesson: Psalm 29 God comes

Time to reflect: The imagery of this Psalm is standard Biblical imagery for God making an appearance on earth: earthquakes, thunder, storms, tornadoes. It is not here, but there are usually a reference to volcanoes also. Are these the signs you would picture if God were to make an appearance? Jesus, Immanuel --- God with us – didn't have such a dramatic presence.

Moving Throughout the day: Think about what it would be like to have God appear to you.

 Scripture:

  Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones,
       ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

  Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
       worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

 The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
       the God of glory thunders,
       the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.

  The voice of the LORD is powerful;
       the voice of the LORD is majestic.

 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
       the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

  He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
       Sirion like a young wild ox.

  The voice of the LORD strikes
       with flashes of lightning.

  The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
       the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.

  The voice of the LORD twists the oaks
       and strips the forests bare.
       And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"

  The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
       the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

 The LORD gives strength to his people;
       the LORD blesses his people with peace.
