Podcast 32.2 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let's think about this.
O tell of His might O sing of His grace
Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! Psalm 96:2-3 ESV
Sing and tell. That is what we are supposed to do once we have come to understand the matchless might and glorious grace of our King. Will you commit today to do it? Use both your speaking and your singing voice to make His might and grace known as often as you can.
Whose robe is the light whose canopy space
…You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
covering yourself with light as with a garment,
stretching out the heavens like a tent. Psalm 104:1b-2 ESV
Now we are talking. This King we worship is able to make a garment out of light! As if that description were not incredible enough it continues by declaring that His dwelling place is the entirety of the heavens, even space itself. This is the One we worship. He is worthy!
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;
he makes the clouds his chariot;
he rides on the wings of the wind; Psalm 104:3 ESV
Thunderclouds are His chariot. He rides on them. Wow! But chariots of wrath? What makes this great King extremely angry? Could it be because His creatures do not choose to worship Him when He is so worthy? Might He be inviting us to respond to His power in awe and wonder?
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm
For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea…
He made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed. Psalm 107:25, 29 ESV
Like horses that move at the will of their rider, so the storm clouds respond to the will of our God. The One who robes Himself in light travels a dark path through the storm. Seems like an interesting juxtaposition, even mysterious. So is our King, Commander of the winds and waves.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain
O tell of His might O sing of His grace
Whose robe is the light whose canopy space
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm
Take the mindfulness of God's presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
