Psalm 66
The theme of this Psalm is so simple, yet so powerful. God answers prayers. While the author is unknown, the Psalm seems to be written after a great victory over a battle. Haven't we all been there? That time where just as fire refines silver, God brings us to a trial to stretch our faith and refine our heart. Those times we are brought to our knees only to realize that crying out to Him is the only way to make it through. In these moments we see our total dependence on God and it's then we stand firm on His promises and His love for us. When we are standing at the Red Sea waiting for the waters to part, I believe He wants us to remember other times He has reached down to rescue us or perhaps remember someone elses' testimony of how God rescued them. The Psalmist paints a beautiful picture of how we gain a deeper understanding and discernment of who God really is when we remember all that He has created and done, and that helps us distinguish His truth from any lie. In that moment, spiritual discipline takes on a new meaning. The gift of life is something to be cherished, and every day His mercies are new. So as we go through this day, I pray for all of us that we shout for joy, sing the glory of His name, and make His praise glorious. It's all about worship. Think of a time when God parted the Red Sea for you and Praise His Holy Name.
