Reading: Mark 15, Hosea 14, Micha 1-2 and Psalm 29
Scripture: Psalm 29:4, The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
Observation: I love how David in this Psalm is describing the voice of God and the power and glory that comes with his words. God is so powerful that he spoke and everything was created. A joke I have heard and repeated is “I believe in the Big Bang… God said it and Bang it was.” Yes it’s an old bad joke.
Application: The amazing thing is that as powerful and all knowing as God is he still cares and thinks of us more then we know and more then most of us think of him. That all powerful voice of God want to speak to us though his word and Holy Spirit. Over this last long holiday weekend my wife and I allowed reserved to get distracted from our daily readings and journaling and not having that daily time with God and his word in the mornings for us took its toll. Between trying to potty train our daughter and being in our home going a little stir crazy, we fought, we yelled, and we got very stressed. Finally on Monday taking a break from the house and not being so regimented about how the potty training was going we also spent time in the word and getting back to God and a piece was brought back to our home. It’s great to spend time with your family and get away from the hustle of this world but we need to remember to keep God in the center of it all.
Prayer: Father I thank you for the piece that you bring, and the provisions and blessings you pour out on us each day even when we don’t see it until it’s missing. I stand in wonder of your great power and love you have for us and thank you for the creation you have made. I ask that you help us to have a longing to be in your word and in your presence where you will speak to us.
