Daily Bible Reading – November 2023, God’s Saving Word: Praise and ThanksgivingSample

November 5

Introduction

Psalm 29: Today’s reading praises the majestic and powerful voice of the LORD. As a hymn, the repetitive use of “the voice of the LORD” builds to a crescendo, culminating in an affirmation that the LORD rules as king forever. The psalm concludes with a blessing of peace.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 29:4

The voice of the LORD is heard in all its might and majesty.

Reflect

Count the number of times “the voice of the LORD” appears in this psalm. As noted in the reading for November 1 (Genesis 1), God’s speaking initiates creative activity. With each verse that begins with the praising of God’s voice, what activity occurs? What images do you find most meaningful? If you were asked to describe God’s power and might, what images might you use?

Pray

Glory to you, O God! You rule as king forever, and your mighty and majestic voice is heard throughout all creation. I praise your glory and power and bow down before you. In your holy and glorious name, I pray. Amen.
