The point of this Psalm is not that God brought the flood. I'm not going to be one of those TV preachers that blames all natural disasters on God punishing the sins of America. But I DO know that these natural disasters sho God's power because He is more powerful than they are. He rides the storm, He is enthroned in the flood. His majesty and power are heard in the thunder and seen in the lightning.
And yes, these disasters need to show us our need for Him and bring us closer to God and make us turn from our sin.
So for Memory Monday this week I am memorizing Psalm 29:10 The LORD sat as King at the flood; Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.
There is more to this verse than what I have said here. Let God's Spirit show you more.
Psalm 29 (Holman Christian Standard)
A Psalm of David.
1.Ascribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2.Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to His name ; Worship the LORD in holy array.
3.The voice of the LORD is upon 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 majestic.
5.The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars ; Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6.He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion like a young wild ox.
7.The voice of the LORD hews out 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 to calve And strips the forests bare ; And in His temple everything says, "Glory !"
10.The LORD sat as King at the flood ; Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.
11.The LORD will give strength to His people ; The LORD will bless His people with peace.
Ah! The part you hoped for. With all of His power God still reaches out to His people and gives strength and peace! THAT takes power!
Live as people of strength and peace!
