Psalm 114

brendaonline

114 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

When I left the bondage of religion, I did know I would learn a totally different language.  Words I thought I knew had to be redefined and my behavior was totally altered.  Like a newborn, I had to learn all over again.

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

Jesus is my Savior and the God is my Father.

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

Like the Red Sea, I had to cross over deep waters; family, friends my religious family, and habits I had learned since birth.  That was deep for me.  But there was no stopping me, I was going to the other side. I wanted to live in the place God had prepared for me.  God cleared my path and those who thought they could drown my reputation of seeking a new life, are all washed up.  I am safe!

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

When my new World saw the God in me!  I could only imagine how the earth recognized she is no longer the same.  Everything connected to my life shifted.  The things that weighed a lot were happy because I left darkness and now I am learning to put things, even big things in their proper place.  The small things moved.  Everything connected to my life moved in the right direction.  When God comes in everything shifts for the good.

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

The songwriter asked sea?  In a happy tone, what happened?  I see the same things in my shift in life.  I am amazed at the Word of God. I am amazed that God pulls the curtain on things that had me locked in, in my mind.  I feel like when I enter the Word of God doors that have been shut the entire life of my understanding of His Word, gladly open themselves and I gain more understanding about God daily.

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

I could repeat myself and say it again as the writer states.  He made things make sense.  And just like the mountain and hills recognized  God that was present in all of  who is He... They began to dance.  Problems are not problems for us, problems are things that know there is something missing and it will not function for us if it is not how God designed it.  Things hurt and lie dormant until it is put in their proper place.  The mountain could not be still, God is on land.

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

When earth met God again.  Earth shook.  When I got reunited with my Father, my whole being (earth) has not been the same since.

8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

God took what is impossible to bring what we need.  God took a stone like me and now, I live to release the Water of the Word of God to anyone God has me to deposit His Word.  Praise God! Praise God!
