In His Temple

Everyone Shouts,

“Glory To God!”

Scripture

Psalm 29

9 … In his temple everyone shouts, “Glory to God!”

Praise the Lord, you heavenly angels!
    Praise the Lord’s glory and power.
 
² Praise the Lord and honor his name!
    Worship the Lord in all his holy beauty.
 
³ The Lord’s voice can be heard over the sea.
    The voice of our glorious Lord God is like thunder over the great ocean.
 
⁴ The Lord’s voice is powerful.
    It shows the Lord’s glory.
 
⁵ The Lord’s voice shatters great cedar trees.
    The Lord breaks the great cedars of Lebanon.

Observation

Loud does not = noise!

In his temple everyone shouts, “Glory to God!” That means that it was loud in the temple, but it was not noise!

The LORD’s voice can be heard over the sea. The voice of our glorious LORD God is like thunder over the great ocean. I think I would say that the LORD’s voice would be loud, but it would not be noise.

Webster’s dictionary gives this as one definition of noise: “lacks agreeable musical quality or is noticeably unpleasant.”

The music part of yesterday’s worship service was “loud” but it was also very powerful. I love it when you see and hear (almost) everybody singing and joining in!

Application

I will shout, “Glory to God!” every chance I get! I will sing loud next Sunday!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I will praise Your glory and Your power. I will praise You and honor Your name! I will worship You in all Your holy beauty. Your voice can be heard over the sea. Your voice is glorious like thunder over the great ocean. Your voice is powerful. Your voice shows Your glory. Your voice shatters great cedar trees. You break the great cedars of Lebanon.
 
May the Lord make his people strong. May the Lord bless his people with peace.
