Hi GAMErs!
There are so many good lessons we can learn from today’s passage, Exodus 15:19-27. Let’s go!
Exodus 15:19 (NIV)
19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
On verse 19: The Israelites were looking just to escape the Egyptians, but God was looking to defeat them completely. That way the Israelites would never have to worry about ever being enslaved by the Egyptians again.
God did the same when Jesus died on the cross and rose again. God’s goal was not simply to help us escape the clutches of sin and death. God wanted to defeat sin and death completely so that sin and death would no longer control us. God didn’t just provide a temporary escape. He provided a permanent victory.
Exodus 15:20-21 (NIV)
20 Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her, with tambourines and dancing.
21 Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea.”
