Day 29

PSALM 29: The God of glory

This psalm stands out as a spectacular call to praise the LORD, the God of glory. The ‘mighty ones’ are most likely the powerful spiritual creatures or angels gathered round God’s throne (see 103:19-21).

What are some of the repeated words or ideas? What do you think they mean?

How does the psalm make you feel?

The LORD indeed is enthroned over all creation and any chaotic forces such as floods or waters. This psalm would be particularly powerful for people or cultures for whom the natural world is the result of various spirits or lesser gods battling it out.

How does Jesus expand our thinking about the God of glory (see, for example, John 1:14 & 1 Cor 2:8).

Today’s Prayer Suggestions

1. Praise God for His power over creation and ask Him to strengthen and bless His people with peace.

2. Pray for our serving pastor Mark Nugent as he helps encouraging our church family to use our time and talents in serving Jesus.

3. Pray for new relational opportunities that having a new baby might bring for Bethany Fraser to share Jesus with other mothers.
