DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 8:31-66; Jer. 16; Philippians 1:21 to 2:11
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea. The LORD is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:1-2
This is the first recorded song and first reference to singing in Scripture. Euphoria swept through the Israelites as they marched toward Canaan as a redeemed people. A mark of God’s redeemed is their joyous singing. Why not enter into a melodious song of praise and thank your Redeemer for saving your soul today! —Warren Henderson
I think of my blessed Redeemer, I think of Him all the day long;
I sing, for I cannot be silent; His love is the theme of my song. —F. C.
