Mighty People Know Their Source

Scripture: Psalm 29:1-2

“Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.”

Observation:

For the first time, I’ve read this and noticed that the one’s who are attributing to the Lord are the mighty. It’s not the weak, the incapable, tht inept, etc.. We are all mighty in one one way or the other - some of us are mighty in our ability to organize, others in their ability to negotiate, some in their ability to befriend, other are mighty in their physical strength, and others in their financial strength.

Application:

God has called us to no only acknowledge His ability to do what we can’t, but to acknowledge that He is even mighteir than we are in the areas that we excell in. He’s called us to complete dependency upon Him. He’s called us to worship Him on the basis that He is bigger and even better. He is mightier!

The cool thing is this acknowledgement doesn’t result in deflated person. As God is glorified in every area of our lives we become grateful people. Grateful that in all of His greatness, in all of His splendor, He has been good to us. He has made us mighty if only in an area of lives. As we walk in His greatness instead of ours, somehow we live an exalted life.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to always live my life under your greatness. There is great protection, provision, and promise their. My might is limited but your has no end. Help me to live the limitless life that I have promised to me in Christ. You are strong - let your strength be shown in my life. In Jesus name - AMEN!
