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.
TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Yesterday we read that the children of Israel saw the destruction of their
enemies. After this mighty victory, Moses led them through a song of praise to their great God who performed awesomely. He described God in the Song as their Strength, their Song, and the God of their father, Israel, whose right Hand is glorious in power, and has dashed the enemy to pieces.
The Praise song has three sections: The first section (vv. 1-13) recounts their mighty deliverance-how God facilitated their movement across the floor of the sea, and frustrated the desire of their enemies. The second section (vv. 14-17) focuses on the impact and fear this great deliverance would have on the nations they would pass by on their way and how the Rea Sea deliverance is an assurance that God would successfully establish them in their Promised Land (vv. 14-17). The third and last part is a short doxology(v18), on the eternal reign of God.
It is good to always sing songs of praise and thanksgiving to our good God. We should imbibe the spirit of praise at all times and in all places, not only in times of deliverance but even in our dark moments. Through worship, we invite God to inhabit our lives and whatever situations that surround us.
PRAYER: Lord, fill my lips with songs of praise in every situation, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen.
