Week 41, Day 1: The Song of Moses
Today’s Reading: Exodus 15:1-27
Some thoughts from the reading…
The song in chapter 15 is a song of deliverance and praise for God. Israel has just witnessed the destruction of Pharaoh’s mighty army. 600 chariots. A very formidable army has just been wiped out before their eyes. I can imagine that this song would have been very joyful and sung loudly. It is interesting to note that the Israelites mention how news of God’s deeds will affect the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. News of this mighty act would cause trembling, anguish, dismay, terrow and dread to fall on the enemies that lay before Israel. And thus we see when Israel comes to the land of Canaan that the people are terrified.
It is good for us to remind ourselves of the great deeds that God has done. He can control the elements of the earth and has power over all things in this world. We need to remember that all things are possible with God and trust in Him fully. Whether it is a formidable foe or a lack of water in the wilderness, God can deliver us. Let us not forget the mighty deeds God has done. “Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?”
