Oceans in the Desert

“Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings; honor the Lord for his glory and strength. Honor the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭29:1-2‬ ‭

Today we worship the Lord and give Him the honor that He deserves. The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad!

Psalm 29 goes on to talk about the sound of God’s voice. As we worship Him with shouts of “Glory”, the sound of His voice comes forth,

“The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a calf; he makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox. The voice of the Lord strikes with bolts of lightning. The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord twists mighty oaks and strips the forests bare. In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!””

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭29:4-9‬ ‭

His voice rebukes the Accuser, His voice shatters the mountains that stand in your way, His voice declares innocence over your life and breakthrough for your needs. As we release our voices in worship, He releases His voice to shift all that needs to be shifted. The power of praise and the power of His voice come together to break the barrenness and bring forth beauty and prosperity.

Psalm 29 concludes with these words,

“The Lord rules over the floodwaters. The Lord reigns as king forever. The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭29:10-11‬ ‭

He is King! He rules over all of creation and it is He alone who gives strength and peace to those who put their trust in Him. Today we join with the Heavenly beings to Shout “Glory!” We pour out our praise because He is worthy. Let all the earth declare His beauty, His majesty and His might. We place our trust fully in Him knowing that the sound of His voice goes before us and opens the way for us to walk in victory.

“We give you the glory that you deserve today!”
