Monday
Read Psalm 114
1 God brought his people
out of Egypt, that land
with a strange language.
2 He made Judah his holy place
and ruled over Israel.
3 When the sea looked at God,
it ran away,
and the Jordan River
flowed upstream.
4 The mountains and the hills
skipped around like goats.
5 Ask the sea why it ran away
or ask the Jordan
why it flowed upstream.
6 Ask the mountains and the hills
why they skipped like goats!
7 Earth, you will tremble,
when the Lord God of Jacob
comes near,
8 because he turns solid rock
into flowing streams
and pools of water.
Think
The story for tomorrow reminds us of God's presence with the Israelites on their journey out of slavery in Egypt. This Psalm describes the ways in which waters retreat when they see God. Whatever challenges you face, God is with you.
Pray
Lord - help me to remember how the waters retreat when they see your power - let me remember that you are with me every day.
