“Horse And Rider”, sang by Bernie Knee

Taken from Exodus 15
The Exodus of old is a song of joy with much meaning. It was only for God’s love and compassion for His children that the Exodus occurred. It took the miraculous power that can only come from our heavenly Father to deliver His people from Egypt (a type of sin) and be their savior. It is only natural for parents to have love and compassion for their children: how much more is it for our Father who is supernatural to do things much more natural than we ever could.
Is there an Exodus for us today? The event Moses sings of was a type of deliverance of old and a type of event that could happen to us, even on an individual basis. Many today follow the traditions and imaginations of men that lead us into error and confusion. Proverbs 14:12 tells us that there is a way which seems right to a man, but the end thereof is the way of death. We need our Father’s teachings and inspiration that comes from what is called His Word, the Bible.
When the nation of Israel was delivered by God’s mighty hand and saw that the army of Pharaoh was destroyed and drowned in the sea they couldn’t help but rejoice. It wasn’t long after their rescue that they started murmuring and rebelled against our heavenly Father. Scripture tells us that their actions led them right back into captivity and confusion.
Our Father had to deliver His people again. The first time from ignorance but the second time was from rebelling against Him and His prophets when they had a change of heart.
We can experience the joy that Israel of old felt and the warmth and comfort we can receive, not only for ourselves but for our family and community also.
