 August 29, 2025, Psalm 29:1-11

29 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.

³ The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
    the God of glory thunders,
    the Lord, 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;
    the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,
    and Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷ The voice of the Lord flashes forth 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
    and strips the forests bare,
    and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
    the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
¹¹ May the Lord give strength to his people!
    May the Lord bless his people with peace!

Verse 2 tells us “Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. “

Again I find myself falling short. How often do I praise God and worship God in the splendor of holiness? Perhaps on Sunday when the worship music draws me close to God. However, God is holy twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. I should always be in awe of His holiness. My prayers should reflect this idea of God’s holiness.

Ask God today to make you continually aware of His holiness and His magnificence.
