Psalm 29 - "Beautiful Day"

Getting up at 6AM and having to get my body to function isn't much fun.  But I was so blessed by the Lord giving me Jamie Grace's song "Beautiful Day" in my heart.  It may not be what I consider beautiful weather-wise BUT it is a beautiful day in the Lord.

Cause I can't let a day go
Can't let a day go by
Without thanking you for the joy that you bring to my life

I praise His Holy Name for the way He gives me joy and peace even through "junk" of this life.  I praise Him for loving me and blessing me.  I pray for more believers to find joy and peace that only He can supply.

I've got no need to worry, I've got no room for doubt
No matter what's coming at meYou'll always be the beautiful I sing about 

Psalm 29

1 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
    the God of glory thunders,
    the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is majestic.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
    Sirion] like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord strikes
    with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
    the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks
    and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
    the Lord is enthroned as King forever.
11 The Lord gives strength to his people;
    the Lord blesses his people with peace.

Hearing the voice of the Lord is critical for one to have His peace and joy.  Sometimes it's easy to hear while other times He gives us a waiting time to hear His answer.  Verse eleven is the key to this waiting time.  The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.  When we allow His strength to enable us to wait on His answer, we will truly have His peace.

Dear Jesus,

Thank You for Your joy and peace.  Thank You for enabling me to hear Your voice.  Lord, I pray for more believers to have the capability to hear You.  Thank You for the strength You will give my spiritual and physical body today.  Lord, more of You and less of me is the desire of my heart.  Thank You for giving me more of You so that I may be a more effective servant.  I praise You for being my Beautiful!  Amen.
