“Come and witness God’s exploits! His acts on behalf of people are awesome! He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. Let us rejoice in Him there!” — Psalm 66:5-6
TODAY we are called to look again — to see what the Lord has done.
Psalm 66 is not written for people sitting in comfort. It is written for those who are weary, pressed down and tempted to think God has gone silent. In our current environment, the weight is real.
Prayers feel delayed.
Young people ask if faith still works.
Dreams remain still for years because the door never opens.
Into all of that, the Psalmist cuts through with a command: “Come and witness.”
Not “Come and remember history”; not “Come and imagine better days”.
Witness is present tense. God is not a museum piece and He is not finished.
He is still acting on behalf of His
people.
The scripture takes us back to the Exodus, to Israel boxed in, with Pharaoh behind them and the sea in front of them.
Humanly speaking, it was over.
Then God did what only He can do: He turned the sea into dry land.
He made a road where there was water.
He took slaves with no army and no exit plan and gave them a highway through the impossible.
Here is the truth we hold today: What He did then, He can still do now.
The same God who split the Red Sea for Israel is not weaker, slower or less interested in His people today.
Your sea might look different from theirs — it might be debt, sickness, a marriage where trust feels drowned, addiction, fear or a family where hope feels like it is on life support.
But the Lord standing in front of it is the same. If He could give dry land to slaves, He can give strength to the weary and wisdom to the confused.
He still specialises in impossible infrastructure.
He still turns “no way” into “walk this way”.
But look at the last part of the text, because this is where most of us get stuck.
It reads: “Let us rejoice in Him there”.
Not rejoice when you reach Canaan.
Not rejoice after the breakthrough is complete and the testimony is tidy.
Rejoice in Him there — in the middle of the dry riverbed, with walls of water still standing on both sides.
That is the place of uncertainty. That is the place before the full answer comes.
That is where the miracle has started but is not yet finished.
The enemy wants us to postpone joy until conditions are perfect.
God invites us to rejoice because He is perfect and He is there with us.
“There” is where you discover He is with you.
“There” is where your faith stops being theory.
“There” is where testimony is born.
Worship is warfare and when you praise God in the middle of the sea, you declare that the water does not have the final word — God does.
So, people of God, what do we do in this season? We come before Him.
Do not turn away from God because life is hard. Draw near.
Bring your honest questions to prayer and to the Word. Ask God to open your eyes.
Where is He already moving — in your home, in your children, in small graces every day?
Do not wait for the perfect time to rejoice.
Thank God in the middle of the crossing.
The God of Psalm 66 is our God.
He has not lost His power, His timing or His compassion.
If He could turn the sea into dry land for them, He can turn your dead end into a pathway. So, let us not wait.
Come and witness.
And even before the breakthrough is complete, let us rejoice in Him there.
He is making a way.
