God's Exceptional Choice
Out of Slavery - Into Nationhood
Song of Moses
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
Psalm 105:26-27, 37-45 The Voice26 Then, He sent His servant Moses
and Aaron, the men He had chosen.
27 They did all the signs He planned for them to do among the Egyptians,
and they performed miracles in the land of Ham. 37 Then He brought His people out of slavery, weighed down with silver and gold;
and of all His tribes,
not one of them stumbled, not one was left behind.
38 Egypt was glad to see them go,
for Pharaoh's people had been overcome with fear of them.
39 He spread out a cloud to cover His people
and sent a fire to light their way at night.
40 They asked, and He sent them coveys of quail,
satisfying their hunger with the food of heaven.
41 He split the rock and water poured out;
it flowed like a river through the desert.
42 For He remembered His holy covenant
with Abraham, His servant. 43 That's why He rescued His people joyously
and why His chosen ones celebrated with shouts and singing.
44 When the time was right, He gave them land from other nations
so that they might possess the works of their hands,
45 So that they would be able to keep His commands
and obey His laws.
Praise the Eternal!
For Reflection
Sometimes we tend to think that life in Exile was plagued by suffering. But, on the contrary, for the most part, God's people prospered. God protected them. God, in God's way, had saved them, guided them, and taught them. And when the time (God's time), God led them into a new nation and gave them land in remembrance of this covenant with Abraham.
God likewise will protect and save us as he had saved Isreal. God will remember the new covenant that was written in the blood of Christ. PrayPray prayers of thanksgiving and praise. Pray and be comforted by the God of your salvation. Pray and rest in the promises of God.
