Sunday Psalms:

When Israel came out of Egypt - the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language - Judah became his sanctuary, Israel, his dominion.

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the hills, like lambs.

Why was it, 

sea, 

that you fled? 

Jordan, 

that you turned back? Mountains, 

that you skipped like rams? 

Hills, 

like lambs?

Tremble, 

earth, 

at the presence of the Lord, 

at the presence of the God of Jacob, 

who turned the rock into a pool,

the flint into a spring.

Psalms 114

What a picture the psalmist is painting of a world that has suddenly changed, and come alive.

After being colonised, held captive for so long, they were brought into freedom.

The freedom of their indigenous language.

The barriers that held them were gone, and the world came alive, as God turned rocks and flint into pools and springs...the work that he does in us, and through us in this world, and work that one day we will see in the fully aliveness of being with Him. 

A place where the hills and mountains skip like lambs...a place where true freedom is.
