Dear Family,
Today is Sunday, April 20, 2025. this is Day 1 of Week 2 in our Counting toward Pentecost. It is our 8th day of Counting.
Today, as we trace the journey of the Israelites out of Egypt let us pause as they did and give God thanks for ALL that God is, and ALL that He does. We find in Exodus 15 an outstanding example of a praising and thanking God for deliverance. It is one of the songs of Moses referred to in the Bible. The first song of Moses is found in Exodus 15 while the second song of Moses is in Deuteronomy 32. These songs are referred to again in the book of Revelation (3:1-4). Clearly, they are important to God’s people throughout past history and future prophecy.
Let us all take time to read the entire song of Moses in Exodus 15 and praise and thank God along with Moses and the ancient Israelites.
Exodus 15:1-19 (1) Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying; I will sing unto the LORD, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. (2) The LORD is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare Him an habitation; 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 hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. (5) The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. (6) Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: Thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. (7) And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against Thee: Thou sentest forth Thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. (8) And with the blast of Thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. (9) The enemy said; I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. (10) Thou didst blow with Thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. (11) Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (12) Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. (13) Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth the people which Thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in Thy strength unto Thy holy habitation. (14) The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. (15) Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. (16) Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of Thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till Thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which Thou hast purchased. (17) Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which Thy hands have established. (18) The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. (19) For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
If Moses, the leader, the statesmen, the worker of miracles, the 80-year-old, past general of Egypt’s armies can lead a praise and worship of God, then let us participate with our whole hearts in singing a song about our deliverance unto the LORD.
