“O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as you? You are the God of miracles and wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations. You have redeemed your people by your strength, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph by your might. When the Red Sea saw you, O God, its waters looked and trembled! The sea quaked to its very depths. The clouds poured down their rain; the thunder rolled and crackled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed. Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook. Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters — a pathway no one knew was there!” Psalm 77:13-19 (NLT)
It is a marvelous idea to sit and contemplate the ways of God. Think of all the blessings in your own experiences. Consider his miracles that have occurred in your life. Remember, his ways are holy and no one is greater than the he who is Wonderful.
When we consider the various trouble spots of life: the family, the economy, the workplace, etc, we might conclude that there is no way out of our dilemmas. It may seem like we are confronting our own Red Sea, with the enemy fast approaching from the rear.
It is in just such situations that we must remind ourselves of God’s power. His strength is our redemption. The waters of our troubles are trembling at his presence. He surrounds the trouble like a whirlwind. The flash of his eyes and the sound of his voice distract the enemy. Then, his Spirit opens up a clear path that we never even considered possible.
Truly, his ways are holy and awesome to behold!
Dear Father, thank you for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Savior. It is a path no one ever thought possible, but you in your wisdom and power opened it up for us. Empower us with faith and fortitude. Enable us to walk in your road. This I pray in Jesus’ name. AMEN
Be encouraged today in the Resurrected Christ,
