Psalm 29: The Voice Of The Lord

In the ancient world, perhaps nothing symbolized the supernatural might of the Lord more than a natural storm.  The people would witness flashing lightning bolts, shattering thunder, and destructive winds.  Although the science of meteorology was beyond them, they knew that an awesome storm represented just a smattering of God's power.  In Psalm 29, David reflects on the majesty of the Lord revealed through such a storm, how His "voice" unleashed amazing devastation.  Today we may better understand the natural forces behind such events, but the created order still reveals a supreme God who stands powerfully above and apart from creation.
