Exodus 15:1-21
Have you ever written a song? I had the unimagined torture of composing a song for a college music appreciation class. It was a very unpleasant experience because music and I do not get along. If I remember correctly my masterpiece was a composition that combined the music of Mary had a Little Lamb with the words of the poem Roses are Red and Violets are Blue. Go ahead and laugh, but believe me you would never add it to your favorite music list. It was not easy listening or catchy. It was just a dreaded requirement that was needed to pass a dreadful class. The class never grabbed my interest, so I did as little as possible to get a passing grade. However, when it comes to our relationship with God we should always be singing His praises. How do we praise God? Exodus 15 provides an example from the life of Moses and the people of Israel that we can follow. First, we need to declare what God has done (1-5). We tell what we have seen God do in our lives. Second, we need to describe God’s power (6-12). We should tell of God’s strength that worked in a way that we could not. Third, we need to define God’s difference (13-18). We simply tell how God works and delivers in ways that are completely unique to get us to where we are. When we use these verses as a guide to praise God it will be glorious music to God’s ears and to all who hear, which is much better than my clumsy composition for music class. So, let the world hear your song of how God has saved you and how He alone is completely unique and worthy of your praise.
Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
