Psalm 114 is an interesting one. It describes the flight from Egypt by the nation of Israel and describes the earth in some unique terms. The sea “flees”, the river “turns back”, the mountains and hills “leap”. The language is curious and worth thinking about because the author then asks what has prompted this behaviour. Finally the author states that the earth trembles before the God who turned stone to water.

As I thought about this kind of weird Psalm, I couldn’t shake the thought that God’s plan is unstoppable. Even the rivers and seas and mountains and hills cannot stand in His way. Think about that. These objects of nature would flee, turn back, and leap out of the way than make some feeble attempt to thwart God’s purposes.

And I guess that’s the crux of this thing, gang. Nothing can stop my God. He WILL have His way. His plans will come to pass and there is nothing we can do about it. We really only have two options when it comes to God’s will. Hop on the train or stand on the tracks. I’m going with the former. If you want to try the latter… it was nice knowing you.
