SNS 057: Noticing God's Splendor in Nature, Psalm 29, Psalm Tuesday
Have you ever noticed God’s presence in nature? Not that God is nature, but that nature reflects aspects of who its creator is. Haven’t you seen things in nature that remind you of God? In this episode, the Psalmist has, and he relates this to us in a
most eloquent and poetic manner. He shares that a dark and violent storm at sea reminds him of the power and voice of God. How he finds, in this chaotic storm, all of nature screaming out the glory of God. And, almost as if he knew someone would try to say that he was equating the storm with God, he ends by stating plainly that God is enthroned over the storm, he is the one who rules over the storm, he is not the storm itself. And because he is more powerful than the storm, he can bring peace to his people. Ready for this?
