It is a good day when I can learn a new word while I am reading His word. And, not only a new word, but new word for my soul. Isn’t it amazing how completely awesome learning is? I am grateful for all learning opportunities.
I have been sitting here at Starbucks reading Psalm 29 – which I just realized I have never read it through before – visiting with my favorite Baristas and taking in the inklings of conversations around me, basking in the little voices of the children I hear and meeting more of God’s people in the process.
And, so as I get back to that new word, I know that in my life, I ascribe to all that God has for me daily, because He is my source, the source of everything, the author of my life, the author of everything. Through this life, I will be blessed and encouraged, as well as challenged and trialed and I can always get through because He loves me.
Webster’s describes ascribe as:
1. to credit or assign, as to a particular origin or period: to ascribe parts of a play to Shakespeare.
2. To attribute as a quality; consider as belonging to: ascribe beauty to youth.
I am grateful for His word, and all the opportunities He lays before me to learn.
Psalm 29
A psalm of David.
1 Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of his[a] holiness.
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of his[a] holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion[b] like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD strikes
with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks[c]
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion[b] like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD strikes
with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks[c]
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
11 The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace.
the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
11 The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace.
