Exodus 14:21-22, 15:1a,b
"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left."
"Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:
I WILL SING TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS HIGHLY EXALTED!!!"
There are songs that we sing & there are songs that we devote!
You can hear a catchy tune, which can stick with you.
You sing it day in, day out, but it has no depth or meaning.
But once in a while, you come across a song that uplifts you!
The words have depth & meaning!
In fact, you make up your own words from excitement & passion!
WHY? You may be wondering!
It's quite simple!
"DEVOTION DUE TO GENUINE GRATITUDE!"
If you take a close look at these verses, you will soon notice that God brought about a great deliverance for the people of Israel by the hand of Moses & due to their overwhelming sense of gratitude, they orchestrated one of Israel's most genuinely heartfelt songs to God ever recorded in His Word!
ASK YOURSELF, when you sing to the Lord;
ARE YOUR WORDS EMPTY OR PASSIONATE?
ARE YOUR SONGS JUST CATCHY OR FULL OF WORSHIP?
ARE YOUR SINGING TO GOD OR TO SOMEONE ELSE?
"God does not want your song, but your heart!!!"
"Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:
I WILL SING TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS HIGHLY EXALTED!!!"
There are songs that we sing & there are songs that we devote!
