SAA Notes
This is one of the great songs of the Bible. It is the song of heaven together with the Song of the Lamb in Revelation 15:3. What do you find uplifting in this song?
SJA Notes
* God Above, thank You for Your blessings to us. Please teach us today.
“You have led in your steadfast love the people whom you have redeemed; you have guided them by your strength to your holy abode.”
The Lord had redeemed Israel out of Egypt, yet they were pursued by a mighty army – the fear of man’s retribution and vengeance upon them.
These words from Moses are for that generation. To encourage them to remain faithful to the faithful God who led them in His steadfast love.
But they are words for us! For all generations of God’s people.
God doesn’t leave us once He saves us. When He redeems us He then guides us toward glory in His strength.
We can look forward to God’s holy abode as we dwell in our frail bodies, seeing as through a mirror smudged and cloudy.
Praise God that He, our King Jesus, continues to build His church here on earth, even through our brokenness (just as He did with Israel).
What steadfast love He shows!
* Gracious Father,
Thank You for redeeming us out from the slavery of sin.
Thank You that You guide us by Your strong hand and mighty arm toward Your holy abode.
Please remind us today of our hope in Your gift of eternal life, and what that means for us now, as we walk one with another as Your church here on earth.
Amen.
