Listen to this daily worship

Psalm 29: 3-5 (NIV-UK)

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.

Crashing down… deafening
Spray blasting forth
Stones rage 
As water hurtles
Spindrift sprinting across the tide
The Lord thunders over the water

Cold-clear-tangible
A droplet sneaks gently… slowly
Down a tiny face 
Arms flung wide…so vulnerable
The purity of a baby’s cry 
Sacredly rejoicing
All this he did for you… little one

Water… a thin place
Physical… yet spiritual
Tangible yet freely running
Through fingers and toes
Evocative… calming
A sacred space

The voice of the Lord is majestic
The voice of the Lord is powerful
The voice of the Lord is over the water
Listen…

 

Prayer:

 

Dear Lord,
Help us to hear your voice in the water, guiding us to our thin place and show us our place in eternity
Amen.
