The Lord is awe-inspiring, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Psalm 29:1-11,
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.
I love this psalm! It reminds me that my perspective on God’s glory needs to be refreshed from time to time! Were I to behold the Lord in all his glory, I doubt I would survive the experience this side of the resurrection. And, yet, that is exactly what I need on a regular basis… to behold, to gaze on the beauty, the majesty and the transcendent glory of our wonderful Lord as often as I can! I can’t behold all there is to see of him, but what I can avail myself of I need to pursue with every effort! To behold him is breath-taking and life-changing!
