the mighty waters

Psalm 29:3
"The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters."

One of the ways I sense God's presence is through nature - especially certain things in nature. Things like gorgeous sunsets painted across the sky, seeing a full moon or milky way spread across the night sky, and even though I live in PA and see them all the time - when I see a herd of deer standing or running in their natural habitat (or near the highway??) I have to stare and I'm reminded of our amazing God who created everything that I see. But the one thing in nature that will always be the ultimate place where I feel God's presence in a very real way is when I'm standing at the ocean. I don't know what it is exactly but there is something about the incredible force of the waves and the rhythm of the tides that speaks to me loudly and clearly of the GOD OF ALL POWER. There is something majestic about the ocean and it's crashing waves that shouts of HIS MAJESTY. It's also beautiful and (to me, at least) mysterious in how it functions - which proves many times over his awesome hand and creativity.

"...The Lord thunders over the mighty waters." He amazes me!
