Proclamation:
“Tremble, 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 a spring of water.” Psalm
114:7-8 (NIV)
Explanation:
The name of the human author of this psalm
is unknown, however, it is clear that it was written under the influence of The
Holy Spirit of God. This is one the “Hallelujah
psalms” (Psalms 112 through 118) which was sung during the feasts of
Israel. This psalm recalls some of the
events which occurred when Israel was led out of captivity in Egypt. (Psalm 114:1) As they wandered through the wilderness, The
Lord God provided water for them by causing water to come out of a rock.
(Exodus 17:6)
Application:
The Lord God is omnipotent, all powerful. We should hold Him in reverential awe and
stand in fear and trembling in His presence.
He is able to provide for all of the needs of His people. For all that He has done, is doing, and will
do for us, we should be eternally grateful.
He is The Rock of our salvation.
All who drink of the living water which He provides will never again
thirst. (John 4:14)
