And when the Israelites saw the great power the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant. - Exodus 14:31
God's power brings results. The Israelites were amazed at the wonderful works of God. They saw the Lord's hand against the Egyptians with all the plagues he sent. It was so amazing that it caused fear to fall upon the hearts of the people. This working of God's power brought about a change in the hearts of the people. It made them realize that God was truly God.
It also resulted in them trusting in God. This is the result of God's power, it brings individuals to the place of trusting in him and his power. When we see God's power active in the world, we become like the Israelites, we become afraid. Not afraid in a negative sense, but in a positive way.
This fear of the Lord is an individual realizing the wonderment of God and sees that God is far greater than one's self. It causes the individual to be humbled at the awesomeness of God.
What working of God's power have you seen, that has resulted in your humbling yourself before God? Does God's power cause you today to place your trust fully in God? I pray today that as we see God's power at work in this world that we allow it to result in our further trusting him, in our yielding ourselves to him. God's power brings results, if you allow it.
Lord, today we seek you to have your way within us and that may your power continue to manifest within our lives so that we can be all that you have created us to be. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
