Psalm 114

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, 8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Psalm 114

When the seas saw the presence of the Lord, they fled; the Jordan River turned back, the mountains skipped, and the little hills scampered like lambs. This was no response to the waving of a magic wand, or the words of a sorcerer! Just God's presence alone brings a response from the earth.

When the Jordan River was dry for the Israelites to walk upon its river bed, the Bible says that the water piled up on a heap. Do you know what that means? It means that it piled up on a heap! Somehow we think we must explain away the miracles of God because we can not understand how the rivers of water would pile up on a heap! Somehow we find it necessary to find a natural cause to explain the wondrous miracles of the Bible.

No! We don't. God is God and that is enough; He is not like man (aren't you glad?). When we look forward to living in God's world (Heaven) won't that be such a glorious time. We can not even imagine the wonders that await us.

As we were reminded in Psalm 114, thank God today that God is not a man like us, but He is truly the God who created everything and is even now preparing a home for us in the new Heavens and the new Earth!
