The People God Redeemed

A Future for God's People
Turn to Me and Be Saved

Exodus 15:11-18 (The Message)
 ^10-11 You blew with all your might
      and the sea covered them.
   They sank like a lead weight
      in the majestic waters.
   Who compares with you
      among gods, O God?
   Who compares with you in power,
      in holy majesty,
   In awesome praises,
      wonder-working God?

 ^12-13 You stretched out your right hand
      and the Earth swallowed them up.
   But the people you redeemed,
      you led in merciful love;
   You guided them under your protection
      to your holy pasture.

 ^14-18 When people heard, they were scared;
      Philistines writhed and trembled;
   Yes, even the head men in Edom were shaken,
      and the big bosses in Moab.
   Everybody in Canaan
      panicked and fell faint.
   Dread and terror
      sent them reeling.
   Before your brandished right arm
      they were struck dumb like a stone,
   Until your people crossed over and entered, O God,
      until the people you made crossed over and entered.
   You brought them and planted them
      on the mountain of your heritage,
   The place where you live,
      the place you made,
   Your sanctuary, Master,
      that you established with your own hands.
   Let God rule
      forever, for eternity!

For Reflection
Who would follow a weak God?  But this is not just a God of great power.  Our god is a God of compassion.  Our God is a god of protection.  Our God is a god of sanctuary.

Pray
Praise God for his compassion and his offer of sanctuary for all who ask and believe.  Pray for His redeemed people that they may bask in the hope of God's promise.
