And then I heard the voice of the Lord – Psalm 29

June 1, 2011

Psalm 29

³ The Lord's voice is heard over the sea.
The glorious God thunders;
the Lord thunders over the ocean.
⁴ The Lord's voice is powerful;
the Lord's voice is majestic.
⁵ The Lord's voice breaks the trees;
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes the land of Lebanon dance like a calf
and Mount Hermon jump like a baby bull.
⁷ The Lord's voice makes the lightning flash.
⁸ The Lord's voice shakes the desert;
the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
⁹ The Lord's voice shakes the oaks
and strips the leaves off the trees.
In his Temple everyone says, "Glory to God!"

¹⁰ The Lord controls the flood.
The Lord will be King forever.

¹¹ The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.

I am a visual person
God’s word comes alive for me, and I am passionate about wanting to know his heart. Recently I was deeply immersed in Scripture, and Psalm 29 caught my attention. As I delved into it, I could just see thunder over the ocean (v3); broken trees (v5); dancing and jumping animals (v6); and a shaking desert (v8).

God allows us to hear his voice when we search for him in Scripture and when we want all of his heart!

Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me to hear your voice and to know your heart! ♥

Sweet Sixteen

Today is my spiritual birthday – the date that changed my entire life. It’s the before and after life changing date when my eyes were opened to the divineness of God. I’ve been on an exhilarating and sometimes uncomfortable journey full of experiences I never imagined I could or want to handle. But the best part of my journey is how God expanded my closed “religious” mind and views. The knowledge I have is but a drop in the cosmic (heavenly) bucket; and I’ve learned that I’m in no position to impose my views on people of different faiths or no faiths. There’s room at the table for all of us. We are all welcome and loved! There’s always room at the table. My life has been about constantly getting myself out of comfort zones I prefer…always hesitating but drawn to the next adventure. That fateful, ever evolving connection to God has powered everything about my life. It has taken me from the depths of despair to the heights of love; from the holy experience of helping loved ones

When it hurts to care – Psalm 31:7

When it hurts to care – Psalm 31:7 Psalm 31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. One of God’s gifts to me is the ability to care about and pray for those who are ill. But right now, my mother is at the end of her life, and another key person in my life recently received bad health news. I also follow the Facebook journey of a courageous 12-year old girl, Jessie Rees , who suffered from two inoperable brain tumors. She passed away a few days ago. I am sad. But it’s interesting that in my sadness, I’ve come to appreciate how God works my faith steps. Before I decided that God’s purpose for me was greater than my own purpose, I had a hard time being close to people because it hurt that they might die or leave me. God opened my understanding (and healed me) so that I could come to terms with that and step into the gifts of compassion he planned for me. I started to feel that familiar hurt e
