Between a Rock and a Cool Place

S: Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water. Pslam 114:7-8

O: God is mighty! The whole psalm is about His mighty power to deliver and how His creation rejoices in His salvation!

A: This psalm is meant for encouragement. It builds my faith in our God who shows up when He's needed most. He pushes back the tides that would overcome me. Just as He held back the Jordan to bring His people into the land He promised them. He gives cool water to me in the dry places of my life. Just like He did for Israel in the wilderness when He miraculously brought water from a rock. And He offers me Living Water from the Rock, Jesus Christ. All because He is both mighty and good. I can join all creation in praising God for His awesome greatness!!

P: Dear Lord, I want my worship of You to be deep and flowing, not dry and dusty. Can I tremble in your presence? Can I feel the awesomeness of my savior, and will Your Spirit show me the deep things of You, so that I will tremble in loving wonder?
