Friday

Scripture lesson: Psalm 114 God can do anything

Time to reflect: This is a poetic song referring to the Exodus and God's power. This is poetic imagery

Moving Throughout the day: If you wanted to express what God's power is on the grandest scale, what imagery would you use? I might use “and God's calculations leave IBM's Big Blue in the dust”

 

Scripture:

When Israel came out of Egypt,
       the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

Judah became God's sanctuary,
       Israel his dominion.

The sea looked and fled,
       the Jordan turned back;

the mountains skipped like rams,
       the hills like lambs.

Why was it, O sea, that you fled,
       O Jordan, that you turned back,

you mountains, that you skipped like rams,
       you hills, like lambs?

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.
