Psalm 29: God Thunders Across the Waters
--------
Bravo, God, bravo!
The heavenly host and all the angels shout,
“Encore!”
In awe before the glory,
in awe before God’s visible power.
God thunders across the waters,
Brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness—
God, across the flood waters.
God’s thunder tympanic,
God’s thunder symphonic.
God makes his people strong.
God gives his people peace.

I love a good thunderstorm.
This time of year on the Blue Ridge, you can always hear thunder rolling somewhere.
The mountains reverberate and echo the reports of the lightning for miles, and miles, and miles.
I love the idea that those echoes are Creation's way of shouting
Bravo, God! Encore!
Next time you hear a good thunderstorm, shout Bravo to God!
