My thoughts about the verses:

In our deepest moments of distress God is our salvation.  God has power over the entire world.  The world trembles around the majesty of God.  It is through the power of God that we are saved from our struggles and despair.

The world trembles in the presence of God.  Imagine standing at the sea and seeing the water open so that you may find the promise land.  You can only imagine what was going through the minds of the Israelites as they stood facing inevitable doom.  The Egyptians had freed them yet were now chasing them.  The sea stood before them and they had their backs to the wall.  They had to feel like there was no way they would escape their doom.  Moses raised his staff and the waters opened.  It was trust in the Savior of the world that led to the salvation of the people.

They came into a barren land.  They thirst for water and food.  God sent them manna from heaven.  They had all they needed in their time of hunger for the gift was freely given by God.  The very rocks sprang forth with water so that they may have something to drink.  Their trust in God had led them to their salvation.  God did not abandon them even though they would forget about the grace that was given to them.

The mountain trembled as God came to Moses.  The earth was blessed by the presence of the Savior.  The people were given the very thing that they needed to survive.  They were allowed to see the power of God.  Imagine being Moses on the mount.  You have gone there to pray to God.  Your trust in God is very strong.  Then the very presence of God comes to you.  You see the majesty that is God. 

People need to realize that God is the same today as in times past.  God rules the world with peace and grace.  God saves the world in their times of despair and distress.  We only have to look upon the Savior to be rewarded with everlasting peace.  Our lives can be changed forever because the presence of God will live within you if you only will give your life to the Savior.  The peace and redemption that came during the wanderings in the wilderness can come to us.  We can feel the power of God all around us if we will only stop and see what God is doing throughout the world.

Prayer:

We praise you Holy God.  We offer up thanksgiving for the redemption that you give to each and every one of us.  Help us give our lives over to you.  Help us see the wonders of your work.  We ask that you come into our life and bless us with your saving grace.  In the name of the Savior of the World we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you given your life over to God?  Have you stopped and evaluated your life?  Have you felt the power of God working through you?  Is today the day that you lift praises up to the savior of the world?
