The Grands Letter (Exo/GLJ)

Exodus 15:1-7, “Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said, ‘I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea.
2 ‘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.
3 ‘The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is His name.
4 ‘Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea;
And the choicest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 ‘The deeps cover them; They went down into the depths like
a stone.
6 ‘Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power, Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.
7 ‘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.’”
It is a mark of human nature to rejoice over things that are pleasant and productive. And there is no greater way of rejoicing
than in song!
This occasion of rejoicing comes at the Red Sea. Moses’ obedience to the LORD’s directive separated the waters,
enabling the Israelites to cross through the midst of the waters and reach safely to the other shore.
The separated waters then closed in death upon the pursuing Egyptians. What was a miracle of deliverance to Israel was a disaster to the Egyptians! The LORD always preserves His people!
The only people with whom I am acquainted that are currently living in Israel are believers in our LORD Jesus Christ. Undoubtedly, there are more. The picture of Israel that graces
the foyer of my home was a gift from a friend, whose is buried
in Israel. Jesus is alive! His people will survive!
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they
prosper who love you. May peace be within
your walls, and prosperity within your palaces”
(Psa. 122:6-7).
Heartily in Christ Jesus,
(Dado III)
