Download Today’s Devotional:  Day – 07 – Psalm 29 – Peace That Passes All Understanding

In this busy and hectic world, do you ever find yourself in need of peace? Let’s begin by talking to the Father:

Father God, life gets crazy sometimes, well, most of the time. Or, maybe it is just me that gets crazy. I know I need to slow down and enjoy this life that you gave me, but everything, everyone, seems to scream for my attention, my affection.  So I’m asking you to help step aside from the screaming long enough to hear your still small voice.  I ask this in the name and authority of your son, Jesus Christ, amen.

Jesus promised us “peace that passes all understanding”. Think about that; it’s not our ability to understand how the peace comes, just to trust in whom it come from. Today we’re spending time with our Father in Psalm 29, consider His promise of peace, and the purpose to pursue that peace.[1]

Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings;
    honor the Lord for his glory and strength.
Honor the Lord for the glory of his name.
    Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea.
    The God of glory thunders.
    The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is majestic.
The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars;
    the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a calf;
    he makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord strikes
    with bolts of lightning.
The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake;
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord twists mighty oaks
    and strips the forests bare.
In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”

10 The Lord rules over the floodwaters.
    The Lord reigns as king forever.
11 The Lord gives his people strength.
    The Lord blesses them with peace.
