A Mighty Redemption

FAITH IN ACTION:
LIVING AS FAITHFUL PEOPLE
God's Protection

Out of Egypt

Psalm 77:11-20

The Message

 11-12 Once again I'll go over what God has done,
      lay out on the table the ancient wonders;
   I'll ponder all the things you've accomplished,
      and give a long, loving look at your acts.

 13-15 O God! Your way is holy!
      No god is great like God!
   You're the God who makes things happen;
      you showed everyone what you can do—
   You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble,
      rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph.

 16-19 Ocean saw you in action, God,
      saw you and trembled with fear;
      Deep Ocean was scared to death.
   Clouds belched buckets of rain,
      Sky exploded with thunder,
      your arrows flashing this way and that.
   From Whirlwind came your thundering voice,
      Lightning exposed the world,
      Earth reeled and rocked.
   You strode right through Ocean,
      walked straight through roaring Ocean,
      but nobody saw you come or go.

 20 Hidden in the hands of Moses and Aaron,
   You led your people like a flock of sheep.

For Reflection
Take time today to remember what God has done for you.  Remember the times when the outcome was frighteningly unknowable.  Remember the times when hope sprung surprisingly out of hopelessness.  Remember the times when the inconsolable was comforted.

Pray
remembering all of those times when God was by your side and thank Him,  Offer yourself in debt to his abiding promise.
