Head: Know God's Word | Heart: Love God | Hands: Follow God's Way

Read Psalm 29-30

Head

These two chapters are full of descriptions of the strength and power of God. The voice of the Lord is more powerful than the forces of nature and huge trees! The writer seems to be shouting praises and thanksgiving to God. Psalm 29 has a lot of phrases about the power of God’s voice and ends with, “The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace.” Chapter 30 continues with more descriptions of how God treats His people and ends with an exclamation that God turns “mourning into joyful dancing.”

Heart

God is both mighty and personal. He is more powerful than anything we could imagine, yet He is also gentle with us. He is whatever we need at any given moment. What can you proclaim about God’s strength in your life? How have you seen God in nature? What has he helped you overcome? The writer of Psalm 29-30 talked about many ways God had saved him, and he invites us all to join him in praising God.

Hands

Talk about the questions above.

• What can you proclaim about God’s strength in your life?
• How have you seen God in nature?
• What has he helped you overcome?

As you go about your day, look for ways to praise God.

Prayer

Dear God, You are amazing! You are so strong and so mighty. There’s nothing You cannot do. You speak and mountains move. You speak and storms stop. You have helped me in so many ways. You provide for me and have a plan for me. Thank you! In Jesus’s name, Amen.
