Today’s passage: Psalm 114
Helpful thoughts:
- This psalm reminds Israel of God’s powerful displays during the exodus period.
- God’s power causes the earth to “tremble.” God has all power over His creation.
- And yet, He has chosen a people with whom to dwell. God’s people are to read/sing this psalm and be in awe that the God of the universe has chosen to have a relationship with them. What a privilege and honor!
Questions to consider:
- Under the New Covenant, who is the sanctuary (Or the “Temple”) of God (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 6:19-20)? How should this truth affect our thinking, giving us reason to “tremble” and rejoice?
- To whom is verse 7 addressed? Are people who do not believe in God exempt from answering to Him? Even if they look powerful and influential in the world today, what is the true status of those who reject the Lord?
- How can the final answer to question 2 give us reason for confidence and also compassion and a desire to minister the Gospel to the lost?
