Psalm 114 does that.&nbsp;It reminds the singer of this hymn some of the great things God has done for His people in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mighty things God has done for his people, Israel, have been rehearsed in this Hebrew song. It reminds the singers that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>God freed Israel from their bondage in Egypt (Psalm 114:1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God was close to His people (Psalm 114:2), and they worshiped Him.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God parted the Red Sea during Moses\u2019 leadership and again when Joshua led Israel through the Jordan River (Psalm 114:3 ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God led them over obstacles, like mountains (Psalm 114:4-6).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God even shook the Earth, showing His power to Israel and several times disciplining them for their sin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>God often did the impossible for His people, including providing water from a rock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We should remember not only what God has done for His people in the past but also what He has done in our lives. I challenge Christians to write what God has done for them in the past.&nbsp;Include in the list answers to prayer, His changing \u201cimpossible situations,\u201d and His interventions in your life. When there is a time you feel all alone and forgotten, it will encourage and strengthen you that He can meet your needs again as He did in the past.&nbsp;Praising God can be a blessing to you, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Today\u2019s Thought:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\u201cPraise has different effects, according to the mind it meets with.
