Psalm 114
1When Israel went out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2Judah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.
3The sea saw it and fled;
Jordan turned back.
4The mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.
5What ails you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?
6O mountains, that you skipped like rams?
O little hills, like lambs?
7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob,
8Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.
-Psalm 114
There are a few things we see in this passage. We see the mission to salvation for the people of God. Certainly this is something we can relate to. Nothing was able to stand in the way before God as He led His people out. Any obstacle that was before His people, He removed and made into a hinderance for the enemy. What we then see is the incredible power of our God. We see mountains and seas in our lives that we see as barriers. There is no hope in our hearts to overcome them. When have such barriers to us been barriers to the Lord? Surely the Lord has made ways when there were no ways and has the ability to do so in our lives today as well. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
