Exodus 15:1-21 – At the banks of the Red Sea, the victorious Israelites worshiped the God who had saved them. We should live lifestyles of worship, constantly expressing gratitude to our faithful Deliverer.
Observations
- After the Red Sea’s parting, Moses composed the first worship song recorded in the Bible.
- God is worthy of personal and family expressions of worship (15:1-3).
- God’s distinct holiness deserves devoted worship (15:4-13).
- How God’s people worship serves as a witness to unbelievers (15:14-16).
- Worship on earth should be a taste of the reality in heaven (15:17-18).
- Our personal expressions of worship should motivate others to join along (15:19-21).
Applications
- If worship is negotiable for your family, you prioritize something else more.
- Treat worship as your declaration of war.
- Your worship won’t rise above your perception of God.
- Worship in such a way that those who don’t believe what you believe at least believe that you believe it.
- Your worship should convey that you’ve been redeemed, the enemy is defeated, and your future is secure.
