Today's Passage:  Psalms 29-30

Psalm 29 talks about the infinite power of God...but did you notice a not-so-subtle element of the psalm?  The power here is not in the hand of God, but in the voice of God.  God speaks and there is great power!  Powerful and majestic, the voice of the Lord controls the raging sea (and will one day calm raging waters).  The voice of the Lord can bring down the mighty trees of Lebanon (and will one day bring down the mighty grip of sin).  The voice of the Lord shakes the earth (and the earth will one day shake when the voice of the Lord cries out "It is finished!"). 

There is awesome power in the voice of God...which means there is awesome power in knowing the words God speaks to us.  When we read scripture and meditate on what it means in our lives, we are tapping in to the awesome power of God through the work of the Holy Spirit in us.  When David rejoices in the salvation of Psalm 30, it is brought about by the power expressed in Psalm 29.

There is power in the words of God...shouldn't we spend as much time as we can tapping into the strength our Bible can provide?
