Section 1: Calling God's Name (Psalms 29:1-2)​

Devotional Thought: The psalmist invites us to "give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name" (Psalms 29:2, KJV). Our very response to God is a reflection of our understanding of Him. Just as the psalmist called out to God, let's join in this call to declare and honor God's name today.

  • How can you reflect on the power of God's voice in your daily life?

Section 3: The Response to God's Voice (Psalms 29:7-9)​

Devotional Thought: The psalmist draws a parallel between God's awesome voice and powerful rain, showers, and thunderstorms. This beautiful imagery reveals that the response to God's voice is one of obedience- like a plant that receives life-giving rain or a land that receives soil-moistening showers.

Reflection Questions:

  • How can you respond to God's voice today in obedience to His Word?
