Worship: A Study in Psalmsਨਮੂਨਾ

What does it say?

Give the Lord the glory His name deserves and worship in the splendor of His holiness. He is enthroned forever as King, giving His people strength and peace.

What does it mean?

David must have written this psalm after watching a powerful thunderstorm roll in from the sea. The thunder and lightning displayed the majesty of God, causing David to stop and worship the Creator amid the storm’s devastation. He was left with a sense of awe when the wind and rain finally ceased. The same God who ruled over the great flood in the days of Noah created this storm. David found peace amidst the storms in his own life and strength to serve the God who ruled over it all.

How should I respond?

We’re presented with countless reasons to praise and worship God throughout the day. His power and majesty are evident in so many aspects of His creation, giving us living illustrations of how He works in our daily lives – just as David saw in the storm. What view of God’s creation do you have from your home, office, or school window today? For what elements of His character does it remind you to give Him praise? We can find comfort, strength, and peace knowing that we serve the same God who created and rules over the wonders of the natural world. How will you worship the King today?
