Psalm 29 - 12.11.23
Scripture
Psalms 29:11 NLT
“The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.”
Observation
In this psalm of David, he writes of God’s awesome power and God’s holiness. David reminds us just how mighty, majestic, and holy our God is. The earth moves at the sound of His voice. God rules and reigns over everything in it. But the verse that I chose today really reminds me just how much God loves His children. He blesses them with strength and peace-(verse 11). So knowing that we serve a God who is all powerful, and who is so loving towards His children, what is there for us to fear? 🤔
Application
Knowing God will give me strength and peace through any situation.
It’s a hope every Christian has, that no matter what life throws at me, no matter how dire the situation, God will give me strength and peace. God may not always answer my prayers how I want Him to or remove me from those tough spots in life, but He will always give the strength and peace to see me through it. The God David boasts about in this psalm, (the God who created and breathed life into this universe), is the same God who loves me and watches over me. He gives me all the strength and peace of mind that I need.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!” -Daniel 10:19a
Prayer
Father God, thank You for being my strength and my peace. You are my immovable rock when the waves crash down on me. You are where my confidence rests. Apart from You, I can do nothing, but when I walk with You, I know I can accomplish anything. May You continue to light my path, and guide me through this life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. 🙏🏽
