Let's Celebrate

Exodus15:1
"I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted. Both horse and driver He has hurled in the sea".

After the Lord defeated Pharoah and his army at the Red Sea, the Israelites were exuberant in their worship to God; they celebrated the victory with every fibre of their being and it was a glorious time. They got out their musical instruments and got down to worship God. Can you see them jumping, skipping, running, clapping and dancing? The Lord had fought their battle and gave them victory,  even the Egyptian recognized  it, Ex. 14:23b, "Let's get away from the Israelites: the Lord is fighting for them against Egypt".

Fast forward: Ex. 15:23 -24. How easily we forget!! The God who granted the Israelites  victory over  Pharoah and his army is still the God when they got to Marah where the drinking water was bitter. Like the Israelites when we face challenges we complain and forget the favor of God on our lives.

Ex. 15:25, The Lord showed Moses a piece of wood, he threw it in the water and the water was made sweet. Oh bless the Lord.

Today my brothers and sisters,  that piece of wood that made the bitter  water sweet was a prelude to the Cross of Jesus Christ (Dr. K. Bridges). On the Cross He shed His precious blood for you and I: He not only pardoned us but brought us into His family and He will turn our bitterness into sweetness. Jesus Christ is the Lion of Judah who is fighting our battles and we are guaranteed victory over the devil. This is the reason and more to always celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ, even when faced with challenging situations.

Do not grumble when faced with trials; let's worship the Warrior, He is the King of Kings, He is mighty in battle and He is a stronghold in the day of trouble. Bless His holy name.
