psalms 29:1-29:11

NEAC - Newtown: Erskineville Anglican Church

Storms serve a purpose. Like the miracles, they are meant to point us to something greater, Christ Himself. David saw an intense storm front coming in and was immediately reminded of the voice of God, the power of God, and the presence of God. Mankind is drawn to glory, and if we’re not reveling in God’s glory, we’re either blind to it or we’re replacing it with something else. The deer giving birth is a reminder that God has a personal (intimate) relationship with His creation. He commands the wind and rain and thunder, and He cares for His creation. The voice of the Lord is powerful (what an understatement!), but perhaps the greatest display of His power was shown when He came to dwell with His people. Not only did God chose to dwell in the midst of His people, through Christ, He has chosen dwell within His people. “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” (1 Cor. 3:16.) Paul Tripp says, “You don't have to search for glory because if you’re God’s child, glory has found you.” The beauty & glory that we naturally seek after is only found in Christ.
