Psalm 29

It only took a minute to read David's psalm. I wonder if he wrote this after witnessing an earthquake. The Jordan valley is the result of a fault line in the Asian techtonic plate. David may have seen tha mountains around him skipping like a colt, or maybe something else in God's revealed nature showed him God's power. But the lesson that I read from David's experience of God's power is found in the last phrase of the psalm; in the midsts of great turmoil, God gives his people peace. Whether the earth is literally shaking, or our lives are being wrung out our God is near by with the peace and guidance that we need to navigate those challenges under his watch care.
