Psalm 114

Verses 5 and 6 present a question to the realm of nature that encountered the God of Israel as he led them through the wilderness. The question is the same to the waters of the Jordan and Red Sea as well as the hills and mountains: why did you flee from the presence of the LORD? Why indeed. If creation had a voice it would continually speak of God greatness and power. Paul told the Roman Christian the creation is a silent witness to the divine power and invisible nature of God. (Romans 1:20) Why did nature move when God drew near? Not out of fear but out of loving respect and obedience. They reacted in the very way God commanded them to act. Nature is still a witness to us today.
It took me less than 1 minute to read this psalm.
