Psalm 114:7 NLT: “Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.”
Psalm 114 speaks to the way God intervened when it was time for his people to leave Egypt. The word “tremble” could indicate great fear or great excitement. People living for themselves, living for the world, should tremble in fear. But people of God jump for joy when the Lord shows up!
After the plagues, God’s people safely passed through the Red Sea, which later swallowed up their oppressors. The Hebrews safely crossed the Jordan river into the Promised Land. God provided for them as they crossed the desert, even sending a spring of water out of a rock!
God appeared to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Just when the believers needed help and direction, God showed up! And when we cry out for help nowadays, God will still show up if we remember to invite him!
