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. 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.
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 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.
Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth the people which Thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in Thy strength unto Thy holy habitation.
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. The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. (Exo 15:1-2, 6-7, 11-13, 17-18)
Moses and the people sang praises to the Lord, for He is great and greatly to be praised. They rightly attributed the works of the Lord to His mighty power. They glorified GOD in His triumph and salvation and worshipped Him for His deliverance of His people from their enemies. They acknowledged that He alone is GOD and above all other gods that men may make in the imaginations of their hearts, that are only evil continually. They exalted GOD in confession, praise, worship and thanksgiving for He saved them despite their faults, He overthrew Egypt with a mighty hand, and brought them out to Himself to be His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Our worship should be such, when we see what GOD is doing through and for us. We are to praise GOD for His wonderful acts to the children of men, we are to proclaim His goodness among the peoples. In Spirit and in truth, we are to exalt the GOD who is GOD alone, and who saved us from our sins because of our faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. We are to glorify GOD in His mighty works for He provides all things according to His riches in Christ Jesus. He alone is worthy.
We worship Him in obedience to His call to minister, we praise Him for providing and giving the increase for the hurting and in need, so they can see Him in us, the hope of Glory. We glorify and exalt the Living Lord, as we disciple one another, to see Jesus through His Word and grow to become more like Him. We exalt Him as our only Salvation from sIn and this world when, as we go, we tell others about His mercy and grace, that they may hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and believe, and in believing have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always, and you too can sing praises to the GOD of your Salvation.
In Christ,
