Psalm 29 is amazing! The power of the voice of our God! It fills the air around us. It gives us peace. It makes the mountains rumble! It makes trees splinter.

This week we watched a video on Fear of the Lord. It delved deeply into the meaning of the original-language word used. And I understood. The awe and reverence I felt standing at the top of the Grand Canyon overlooking the river valley below.

I was reminded of the verse about how wide, long, and deep God’s love for us is. We are tiny, and he created the universe. He is the All-Powerful One, and He gives me strength. He is bigger than any of my troubles or my dreams.

And He is my Lord, my Shepherd, my Savior, my Father, and my Helper. He guides me beside still waters so I can rest. He provides me with food and drink. He clothes me with His righteousness so I can be in His presence.

It makes me want to be still, and know Him, listen to Him, read His words. I am inspired to shout His praises and bless His holy name. And I reach out to those in need around me. His love reaches them through me because of His grace and mercy.

Are you anxious or afraid to pray? God beckons you with open arms to hold you, comfort you, and love you. Are you ashamed and feel unworthy? God beckons you to cleanse you and make you worthy with the blood of Jesus. Are you broken, tired, and in need of rest? God beckons you to feed you, provide for you, give you drink, and give you rest.

The Almighty, Powerful, All-Knowing God shouts, roars, explodes, but He also whispers in a quiet voice. “I love you, child. You are mine. Return to Me, and I will make you whole.”

Give all credit to the Eternal, O heavenly creatures; give praise to Him for His glory and power. Give to the Eternal the glory due His name; worship Him with lavish displays of sacred splendor.

The voice of the Eternal echoes over the great waters; God’s magnificence roars like thunder. The Eternal’s presence hovers over all the waters. His voice explodes in great power over the earth. His voice is both regal and grand.

The Eternal’s voice shatters the cedars; His power splinters the great cedars of Lebanon. He speaks, and Lebanon leaps like a young calf; Sirion jumps like a wild, youthful ox.

The voice of the Eternal cuts through with flames of fire. The voice of the Eternal rumbles through the wilderness with great quakes; He causes Kadesh to tremble.

The Eternal’s voice brings life from the doe’s womb; His voice strips the forest bare, and all the people in the temple declare, “Glory!” The Eternal is enthroned over the great flood; His reign is unending. We ask You, Eternal One, to give strength to Your people; Eternal One, bless them with the gift of peace.

Lord, thank You for my reader. Thank You that You watch over her, waiting for her to glance at You so that You may bless her. You provide her with comfort and love, and You also provide food, water, and a secure place to rest.

Thank You, Lord, for giving her strength and blessing her with the gift of peace. Your voice brings life, and she praises You and listens to Your word. Chase her fears away, Lord, and let her know Your presence is near her.

Lord, You are our Great and Mighty King. You fight for us every day. We trust in You. We rest in You, knowing You are faithful. Help us to be grateful and praise Your name, Almighty God. Be glorified through her. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I’m almost done writing The Birds, the Blends, and the Badge at the Rock, the next Morro Bay Mysteries. It is coming in September, just a few short weeks away.

Pray for me as I travel to Missouri to help my Mother-in-law pack her things and send them all here. Then we have to fly back. I pray the Lord will hold her in the cradle of His arms, lifting her burdens, steadying her heart, and keeping her well.
