The Scriptural passage selected for today is found in Exodus 15:1-2: “I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted. The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.” The prophet of old is singing praises to God, the Father of all nations. He believes and knows that with God, all things are possible. Deliverance from Israel’s enemies was part of their oral history. They knew of God’s power to lead and guide them. Sin, however, continued to lure them to break their allegiance to God. The prophet’s “job” was to share not only the love of God, but also God’s wrath. As for the prophet himself, he will remain steadfast in his praise of his Lord and Savior. We today know the history of God’s chosen and of His many instances of having to punish them for disobedience in turning to idols and other gods. We have that knowledge as God’s children and know that God is still not only a God of love, but he’s also a God of punishment for misconduct. Let us be ever-mindful of both aspects of God’s nature. He is our Father. We are His children. Today, let’s do our part by reflecting God’s love, joy, and kindness with all with whom we come in contact.
Happy Tuesday! Have a wonderful day.
