Scripture Union Daily Guide Friday 17th February 2023 MESSAGE
After God delivered the Israelites out of Egypt and saved them by parting the Red Sea, Moses and the whole congregation of Israel sang a wonderful song of praise to Him. Music played an important part in Israel’s worship and celebration. Singing was an expression of love and thanks, and it was a creative way to pass down oral tradition. Can you think of the great things God has done in your life and family? Do you express relief, praise, and thanks when you are delivered from trouble?
Notice the various ways God’s people described Him in vs.2-3. God was their strength, salvation and warrior. Who is God to you? The Israelites acknowledged that God subdued the boastings of the enemy and gave them victory (vs.4-10).
What qualities of God in v.11 distinguished Him from other gods? God’s power is demonstrated in vs.12-17. Equally God’s rulership and reign are expressed in vs.18-19, motivating Miriam the prophetess and other women to burst out in praise to Him (vs.20-21).
PRACTICE/WORD APPLICATION
And so: Are you motivated to give praise and thanks to God for His deliverance for you and your family? Do you acknowledge the supremacy of God in your life? Worship Him.

The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
