Today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan we see how Moses and the Israelites rejoiced before the LORD and sang to Him, Who had delivered the Egyptians into their hands, and into the sea! Here is their song from Exodus 15: 1-18:
1Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord, saying,
I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider or its chariot has He thrown into the sea. 2 The Lord is my Strength and my Song, and He has become my Salvation; this is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. 3 The Lord is a Man of War; the Lord is His name. 4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his host has He cast into the sea; his chosen captains also are sunk in the Red Sea. 5 The floods cover them; they sank in the depths [clad in mail] like a stone.n6 Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy. 7 In the greatness of Your majesty You overthrow those rising against You. You send forth Your fury; it consumes them like stubble. 8 With the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up, the floods stood fixed in a heap, the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. 10 You [Lord] blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; [clad in mail] they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 11 Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing wonders? 12 You stretched out Your right hand, the earth’s [sea] swallowed them. 13 You in Your mercy and loving-kindness have led forth the people whom You have redeemed; You have guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation. 14 The peoples have heard of it; they tremble; pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. 15 Now the chiefs of Edom are dismayed; the mighty men of Moab [renowned for strength], trembling takes hold of them; all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away—little by little. 16 Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of Your arm they are as still as a stone—till Your people pass by and over [into Canaan], O Lord, till the people pass by whom You have purchased. 17 You will bring them in [to the land] and plant them on Your own mountain, the place, O Lord, You have made for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established. 18 The Lord will reign forever and ever.
Miriam and the ladies then responded in song, also! Have YOU made a point of celebrating what God has done for you, in you and through you? This is vitally important to remembering these glorious, victorious moments when in the heat of the battle of the GOOD fight of faith! It's GOOD because we WIN! IF we do it right! SING about it! SHOUT about it! Tell the world about your great and mighty GOD and all that HE has done! AMEN! Here, to help you with that remembrance, is Hillsong with an older song called "This Is How We Overcome"!
