praying effectively: Tremble, O Earth (Ps.114)

(Psalm 114:1-8)

 When Israel went forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills, like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob,
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.

Reminder:  "praying effectively" involves knowing God's will.  When we pray in His will (in His name), He may choose to not answer those prayers in the time period that we would like, or HOW we would like - but He will answer those prayers!

It is God's will:  that the entire earth trembles before the Lord God (114:7)

Today's prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, You are the Savior who provides living water.  Convict the hearts of people and open their minds to the good news!  May the world recognize Your sovereignty over all - and fear You!
