“7In the greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries; you send out your fury; it consumes them like stubble.” – Exodus 12:7 (ESV)
Moses is recalling through song the deliverance from the Egyptians. Where there are also declarations of power and strength in the passage, here there is notation of God’s majesty.
Thinking about it, God’s Great Majesty is what delivered the Israelites. He simply provided the escape route through the parted sea. The Israelites trusted and followed His plan. His majesty was on display again when the wall tumbled down at the blowing of trumpets and marching. And again as Jesus healed and cast out demons.
When I look back at my God and carefully inspect, His Great Majesty was displayed when it was needed in more “private” spontaneous settings than in the public open forum as a declaration of greatness.
I have to take a closer look at my life and take note of the “private” spontaneous displays of majesty God has used in my life. I should be grateful for those as opposed to looking for and waiting on the public open forum declarations that are not really in the style of God.
When you really look, are you frustrated that God has not been overtly public in your life? Have you thought of God’s Great Majesty in more private terms? Are you aware of God’s Great Majesty in your life?
