THE GLORY DUE TO HIS NAME
Text: Psalm 29
31 July 2016
SEEING THE GLORY OF THE LORD
How wonderful it is to be able to see the glory of the Lord God. The Psalmist David wrote a beautiful poem extolling the glory of the Lord.
Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones,
Give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name;
Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. Psalm 29:1-2
- The focus is on the LORD Himself
- There is much glory to be seen in the LORD.
HOW DO WE GIVE GLORY TO GOD?
The Psalmist David offered a simple way of giving glory to God.
- Give
a. This word may be translated “ascribe”
b. It is to acknowledge that glory belongs to God
c. We are to declare His glory
- What may we ascribe to the Lord?
a. The glory that is due to His name
b. The Name of the Lord represents the Person of the Lord
c. The following things may be highlighted: –
i. Strength
We acknowledge that ultimately strength comes from the Lord
ii. Holiness
The Being of God is holy. His holiness is a theme sung by the angels (Isaiah 6:3)
OTHER OBSERVATIONS OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD
Psalm 29 attempts to describe the glory of the LORD seen in different settings of life: –
- The voice of the Lord is the major theme in Psalm 29
The Psalmist sought to appreciate the mighty voice of the LORD in nature
- He called the LORD “the God of glory” Psalm 29:3
a. The mighty oceans
The might and majesty of the mighty waters reflect the Voice of the LORD.
b. The stately cedars
Many admired the stately cedar. Only the rich could afford to use cedar wood in their stately homes. The glory of the Lord may be seen in beautiful trees.
c. The wilderness
To many the wilderness is forbidding. But there is glory to be found in the sheer starkness of the wilderness! The glory of the LORD may be seen in the wildness of uninhabited places.
d. The animal kingdom
How does the animal kingdom flourish? The glory of the LORD may be seen in how the animal kingdom continues to be populated.
e. In the Temple of God
The glory of the LORD may be seen by all who love and worship the LORD. They will cry out “Glory” as they stand in the presence of the LORD.
THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD
We may see the Lord’s glory in the blessings He has bestowed on His people!
The LORD will give strength to His people;
The LORD will bless His people with peace. Psalm 29:11
Let us ever extol the LORD for the God that He has proven Himself to be! Let us seek to give the LORD the glory that is due to Him.
