Psalm 29:3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over mighty waters.
We are privileged to live in Great Lakes country. We get to live and play near these huge bodies of water. We play on the beaches, we search for rocks on the shore, we wade into the water, and we gaze at the bending surface of the water as it touches the horizon. All the time, the water washes over us. The water from the Great Lakes pours out our faucets (after many stages of cleaning!) Great ships still use the Great Lakes to carry goods and commerce, and pleasure boats glide over the surface. The influence of the Great Lakes is all around us.
In the same way, God's voice is all around us. It washes over us in baptismal waters. It nourishes us and washes us each and every day. It carries us and lifts us up just like we can float on the surface of Lake Michigan. Thanks be to God for water, and for the voice of the Lord.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
