How does Psalm 106:22 remind us of God's power in our lives? “wondrous works in the land of Ham, awesome deeds by the Red Sea.” Setting the Scene • “Land of Ham” points directly to Egypt (Psalm 105:23). • “Red Sea” recalls the miraculous crossing in Exodus 14. • Together they summarize the climax of God’s deliverance from slavery. Timeless Proofs of Divine Power • Ten devastating plagues (Exodus 7–12) showed the LORD’s supremacy over Egypt’s gods. • The pillar of cloud and fire guided Israel day and night (Exodus 13:21-22). • The sea parted, walls of water stood firm, and dry ground appeared (Exodus 14:21-22). • Egypt’s army was swept away the moment Israel reached safety (Exodus 14:26-28). Why This Matters Now 1. God’s power is not abstract—it is historically demonstrated. 2. The same hand that once split the sea still rules creation (Psalm 89:11). 3. Remembered miracles fortify present faith (Psalm 77:11-14). 4. Deliverance from bondage foreshadows salvation in Christ (Colossians 1:13-14). Living in the Light of Psalm 106:22 • Confidence for today: “His power toward us who believe” is “immeasurable” (Ephesians 1:19-20). • Courage in trials: the One who conquered Pharaoh overcomes every enemy (Romans 8:31-37). • Commitment to obedience: Israel’s later forgetfulness warns us not to drift (Psalm 106:21; Hebrews 2:1). • Continual praise: recounting His “awesome deeds” fuels thankful worship (Psalm 145:4-6). Summary Snapshot Psalm 106:22 anchors our faith in the unchanging, history-shaping power of God. The wonders at Egypt and the Red Sea prove that He acts decisively, rescues completely, and remains mighty in the lives of all who trust Him today (Hebrews 13:8). |
