Text for the Day -- Psalm 114
----------
When Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
Judah became God’s sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
The sea looked and fled;
Jordan turned back.
The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
Why is it, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the LORD,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.
Devotional
----------
God created a people out of great wonders over creation, crossing of
the Red Sea and the Jordan River. God continued to be manifest in
Israel in the promised land. God is a God who calls and gathers his
children and provides a sanctuary in his promises and power. He has
even provided a way to overcome the power of death in the
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Prayer
-------------
Help me remember your refuge of promises for my life, gracious God.
Amen
