God’s power revealed to the people
Genesis 15:17
When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking
firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.
Exodus 3:1-6
1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his
father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of
the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him
in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on
fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this
strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” 4 When the LORD saw that he had
gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And
Moses said, “Here I am.” 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your
sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said,
“I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of
Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
Joshua 3:14-17
14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the
priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of them. 15 Now the Jordan
is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried
the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge, 16 the
water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance
away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water
flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So
the people crossed over opposite Jericho. 17 The priests who carried the ark of
the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan,
while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on
dry ground.
Luke 8:22-25
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's go over to the
other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they
sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was
being swamped, and they were in great danger. 24 The disciples went and woke
him, saying, “Master, Master, we're going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the
wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his
disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He
commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
