Since I spent my formative years in Texas, I have the Texas attitude toward storms. As soon as we hear thunder, we're outside looking at the sky. Thunder gets our attention.
You don't have to be a Texan to notice thunder.
A thunderstorm will interrupt your life.
You'll turn your attention from what you're doing to this interruption.
The Psalmist's life was interrupted by God (Psalm 29:9).
"The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl, and strips the forest bare;and in his temple all say, "Glory!"
The poem of the week in slate.com is Tuggin' by Matt W. Miller.
It's not a commentary on Psalm 29 but as I read this poem about a storm and its effects, I thought about the psalm. And about how storms can affect us. And how we can be rescued from them. Anyway, read the poem.
Lectio Divina: Acts 8:15; Psalm 29:10
