Exodus 15:1 “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.”
This is a fascinating a joyous verse of scripture!
After a great victory, the children of God regularly desire to sing a song of praise. This portion is very specific, mentioning the act that made the victory great; the washing away of the armies of Egypt in the Red Sea.
Getting specific in speech and song is a very good thing both for the listener and the audience.
It is wonderful to simply say “praise God,” but even better to recite His blessings line by line.
If we have a journal, we could write His blessings down. If we are musically-inclined, we could compose Him a song.
Either way, we should be sure to mention the particulars.
The horse and the rider were a real threat to the people of Israel. If it weren’t for the Lord’s intervention, the story would have been tragic.
Let’s praise God with Israel for His mighty work in their day – and in our day.
