The Power and Presence of God in Psalm 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Commentary

Psalm 114 reminds us of how God's power and presence can transform impossible situations, evidenced by the miraculous deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt. It also speaks to how creation itself can respond to the presence of God, as seen in the parting of the Red Sea and the Jordan River. As we face our own challenges and obstacles, we can find hope and strength in the same God who brought His people out of Egypt. This psalm reminds us that God is still able to move mountains, divide seas, and make a way where there seems to be no way.
