Psalm
29:3-9 The
voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord, over
many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full
of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks the cedars
of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild
ox. The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire. The voice of the Lord
shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of
the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare, and in his
temple all cry, “Glory!”
A psalm of
kingship
Florida is the lightening capital of the world. More
lightning strikes hit the ground here than anywhere else. The power of such
strikes is immeasurable. The fact that people do survive such strikes is
miraculous. They have come as close to God without dying as anyone. And to
think God is more powerful than a lightning strike is beyond our ability to
measure.
God is infinite. That means nothing about Him can be
measured. If you start to take a yardstick to see how tall or wide He is, you
would never come to the end of the yardstick. All of His attributes (love,
forgiving, mercy, all powerful, all knowing, etc.) are infinite. If we measure
the human capacity to love or to lift weights, we can never measure God’s
abilities.
Read these verses again and marvel at our God. He is
really beyond our fullest abilities to know him completely. Marvel at his
concern for you, a speck of life in a seemingly endless universe.
Because God is infinite, we can rest in His arms for He does care for you. “The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”(vs. 11)
