Have you ever noticed God’s presence in nature? Not that God is nature, but that nature reflects aspects of who its creator is. Haven’t you seen things in nature that remind you of God? In this episode, the Psalmist has and he relates this to us in a most eloquent and poetic manner. He shares how a dark and violent storm at sea reminds him of the power of God, of the voice of God. How he finds, in this chaotic storm, all of nature screaming out the glory of God. And, almost as if he knew someone would try and say that he was equating the storm with God, he ends by stating plainly that God is enthroned over the storm, he is the one who rules over the storm, he is not the storm itself. And because he is more powerful than the storm, he is able to bring peace to his people. Ready for this?

My name is Charles, Charles Yerkes and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This is a podcast for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is series in which, each Tuesday, we will listen to a Psalm being read in a manner that honors their original use as part of a worship service. In this episode, we are reading Psalm 29.

So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.
