Read Psalms 66:5-7  In our verses for today David is reviewing the mighty things that God did for the children of Israel.  God led them out of Egypt in a wonderful way.  But as they were leaving, Pharaoh changed his mind and went out to recapture them with his army.  Moses trusted in God, but the people he was leading were fearful.  They came to the Red sea, but they had no way to get over to the other side.  Then they saw a cloud of dust behind them that was being stirred up by the Egyptian army chasing after them.  They were stuck in a hard place:  drowning in the sea ahead of them or death from the Egyptian army behind them.  But David reminded his people how that God had piled up the waters of the Red sea on one side and on the other and then dried up the mud so that all of the people could walk across!  What a wonderful miracle!  Then David said in verse 7 that God rules over the nations.  God is watching the nations all the time.  The nations had better not be rebellious toward God, because He sees all and knows everything.  Did you know that God sees you every day and every where?  If we obey God, we are happy that He is watching.  If we disobey God, we should repent and ask His forgiveness.  I am glad that I am on God's side and that I am not one of God's enemies!  Are you on God's side?
