Psalms 74:15
“You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.”
What does Psalms 74:15 mean?
God's power over nature is on display here, where the psalmist recalls how the Lord provided water in the wilderness and held back waters when needed. In the original context, this likely references the exodus story, when God split the Red Sea so people could escape Egypt, then closed it on their pursuers. The psalmist is reminding both themselves and God of a time when divine strength seemed unmistakable, when thirst was quenched and enemies were stopped. When we're struggling to see God's presence in our lives, remembering these old stories of provision and protection can anchor us again, even if our current circumstances feel different or harder.
