The Psalms are not the only songs in the Bible. For the next 23 days, you will read and pray
those other songs, scattered throughout Scripture. We hope it is an amazing time with the LORD,
during this season of Advent—the days leading up to the celebration of Jesus’
birth.
Please read Exodus 15:1-18, 21.
The Song of Moses and Miriam
Meditate on Exodus 14:31-15:1a.
When Israel saw the great power which the LORD had used
against the Egyptians,
the people feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD
and in His servant Moses.
Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the
LORD.
The LORD acted in such a miraculous way on behalf of His
people that the immediate response was singing a song, declaring His amazing
attributes. As the men sang the story of
God’s victory (vs. 1-18), the women danced and played timbrels (tambourines),
singing the chorus:
Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted;
the horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea.
—Exodus
15:21
This can become one your songs of victory. Use the words from Exodus 15:1-18 to praise
the LORD.
“I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted.
(Tell what the LORD has done for you.)
The LORD is my strength and song, and He has become my
salvation.
This is my God, and I will praise Him; my father’s God, and
I will extol Him.
The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is His name.
(Tell what the LORD has done for you.)
Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power;
Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.
And in the greatness of Your excellence, You overthrow those
who rise up against You;
You send forth Your burning anger, and it consumes them as
chaff.
(Tell what the LORD has done for you.)
Who is like You among the gods, O LORD?
Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises,
working wonders?
(Tell what the LORD has done for you.)
The LORD shall reign forever and ever.”
