Psalm 29
Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 2
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name, Worship the LORD in the beauty of
holiness.
Give, give….give unto the LORD glory and strength, give glory due to His name….worship Him
If you live in the United States, you might have grown up in the south. You might have experienced some electrical storms in the midnight hour. I saw many when growing up in that region of such nation. I saw the magnitude and brilliance of packed power in just one electrical strike and then to have a multitude of them within just seconds, you begin to look at Him who can do such things!
Although storms can come in different forms and manners still we are to be reminded that God knows the inside of us as He knows the outside nature of the world and beyond!
STORMS
Happen: like Covid-19………3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of
glory thunders; The LORD is over many 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 splinters the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes
them also skip like a calf, Lebanon & Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice
of the LORD divides the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the LORD shakes the
wilderness; The LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the LORD
makes the deer give birth, & strips the forests bare; & in His temple
everyone says, “glory!”
THE STORM HAS
Ended: THE Lord remains. His throne is not moved by Covid-19 nor that which men
devise as evil before Him. He will judge and rise to do what is righteous in
His sight! His judgment is fair!
Psalm 29:10
The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, and the LORD sits as King forever.
August 2019
we had studied the ark, God’s calling Noah to build. Gen. 7:1-6 NKJV Then the LORD
said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you & all your household, because I have
seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation ( generation of
ruin-they are anti-everything). 2 “You shall take with you seven each of every
clean animal, a male & his female, two each of animals that are unclean, a
male & his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male &
female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after
seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days & forty
nights, & I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that
I have made. 5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
1. God will not ask you to do something
unless He is already there ahead of you..Come into the ark…come to safety for
the generation is of ruin…..they are anti-everything
2. And Noah did according to all the LORD
commanded him
3. And God will introduce you to things like rain as He did to Noah!
Psalm 29:11
The LORD will give strength to His
people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.
Yes, the strength of the Lord to His people is this thing called peace. It is a peace beyond just that ordinary word or meaning. In Luke 12, Jesus told us that He did not come to bring peace but rather division!
This Holy Spirit fire will bring an authority from heaven to earth. And the Holy Spirit in us, brings His peace of heaven, but will also bring division on earth. We are to live for God and not for the world! Jesus lived for God and they crucified Him!
Voice as a Thunderstorm: From Verse 3-4 His Voice is as a thunderstorm. He is over the tumultuous, God has dominion; His Voice is power, it is full of majesty: Revelation 4:5 And from the throne proceeded, lightnings, thundering, & voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the 7 Spirits of God.
From Psalm
29 & V. 5 His voice breaks the cedars, Yes, the LORD splinters the cedars
of Lebanon: 6 He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon & Sirion like a
young wild ox:
1. He makes them skip like a calf , Lebanon
and Sirion: He causes the cedars to move by His majestic power; as the winds
move over the trees, they appear to move like animals
2. Storms brew and God’s voice is to be
heard through them
3. Thunder will reverberate through our
being, lightning may dance and strike a tone by a hit on some high rod in the
sky, but as Psalm 29: 1 speaks, Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, give
unto the LORD glory and strength. 2 Give unto the LORD the glory due to His
name, Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
4. Whatever virus man makes to destroy
others, God is to be glorified, not for viruses but for WHO God is.
5. Give unto the Lord that which is ascribed
to HIM, for He remains when the wind has passed on by. He remains to see us and
see us speak to honor Him, to see His majesty and glory
6. We are to approach Him in the act of
worship: that state of the heart—the "internal" ornament-with which
we should approach God—to a holy/ pure state of mind/that beauty or
appropriateness of the soul which consists in holiness or purity. For when
something strikes loud, and comes to stop you and yours: lift your voice to Him
who is to be honored. Lift your voice in praise to His glory and His majesty.
Another storm is that appearance within society that you get
what you want by doing the wrong thing to get it……..and sometimes they are not
prosecuted for doing wrong. It is endorsing perversion. It is refusing to
discipline children. It appears as a worship of a political system rather than
worship of almighty God. Yes, that self-interest causes landslides indeed! We hear of some regularly on the south side of I-84.
But the King of glory prevails. The Light has appeared and it was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. (John 1:9) John 3:17 For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he Who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.
Yes, lightning at night can raise many a man, woman or child out of a sleep and that warm bed. That clapping sound of thunder can raise a shaky interior to the man or woman who does not like that kind of thing especially in the midnight hour. But that lighting will light up a dark house. That light of the Lord will also light up that which needs light shined on it. For misdeeds and the such must be dealt with quickly. And the King of glory can do that quickly if you allow Him space and time to do it! Honest hearts will come near to God; they will come to the light for a change to occur.
Jesus is this Warrior— He is the King of glory! And He is the strong Lord, the mighty Lord of battle, Zechariah 14:3 Then the LORD will go forth & fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley.
The same
Jesus in Revelation 1 is going to step foot on earth! Majesty, mighty, courageous
heart and enduring strength, yes, His Greatness, authority and honor will be
noted. He will be worshiped by everyone…. GLORY!
Light will shine....darkness will try to hide and every knee shall bow before Him: the King of kings and the Lord of lords! Amen.
