The
name of today, Thursday, is derived from old Norse and it means “Thor’s
Day”.
Thor is the ancient god of thunder (German Donnerstag – day of
thunder).
The writer of Psalm 148 tells us that even nature proclaims it’s praise
of its creator.
The ancient Norse didn’t know what they were hearing in the greatest of
storms.
The storm itself was proclaiming the greatness of God.

Praise
the LORD.
Praise
the LORD from the heavens,
praise
him in the heights above.
Praise
him, all his angels,
praise
him, all his heavenly hosts.
Praise
him, sun and moon,
praise
him, all you shining stars.
Praise
him, you highest heavens
and
you waters above the skies.
Let
them praise the name of the LORD,
for
he commanded and they were created.
He
set them in place for ever and ever;
he
gave a decree that will never pass away.
Praise
the LORD from the earth,
you
great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
lightning
and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy
winds that do his bidding,
you
mountains and all hills,
fruit
trees and all cedars,
wild
animals and all cattle,
small
creatures and flying birds,
kings
of the earth and all nations,
you
princes and all rulers on earth,
young
men and maidens,
old
men and children.
Let
them praise the name of the LORD,
for
his name alone is exalted;
his
splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
He
has raised up for his people a horn,
the
praise of all his saints, of Israel,
the
people close to his heart.
Praise
the LORD. Psalm 148:1-14 (NIV)
