Introduction

This short psalm is in the form of a hymn that has come to be associated with Passover celebrations. It describes God’s delivering the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt and guiding them into the Promised Land.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 114:2

Judah became the Lord’s holy people, Israel became his own possession.

Today’s Reading 

Psalm 114

Reflect

Today’s reading includes references to the exodus from Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:26-29) and the crossing of the Jordan River into the land of Canaan (Joshua 3:14-17). In both instances the people walked across on dry ground. The concluding verse references God providing water for the people in the desert (Exodus 17:1-10). What does this psalm teach about the power of God? Are there instances of the power of God at work today?

Pray

All-Powerful God, you are ever near, watching over us and guiding us day by day. I join with all creation in praising you for your mighty deeds. Amen.
