June 10 - ADJUSTMENTS - Exodus 15:1-2

¹ Then Moses and the Israelites

sang this song to the Lord:

“I will sing to the Lord,

for he has triumphed gloriously;

horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.
² The Lord is my strength and my might,

and he has become my salvation

Exodus 15

 

When the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, what’d they do?

 

They worshipped!

 

They sang praise! “I will sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously!”

 

And … they proclaimed truth:

 

“The Lord is my strength.” That’s true! Is it true for you? Powerfully? Personally?

 

“The Lord is … my might.” That’s true too. God is powerful. But is it true for you? When we personally believe this, we have strength … even in the midst of trials.

 

But what I like best is their next proclamation: “He has become my salvation.” I love the honesty! They are saying, “God is definitely salvation, but there was a time when he wasn’t.”

 

We trust in all kinds of other things, but when “the Lord … become[s our] salvation” we realize the power and protection that is with us already and anyway.

 

Has “the Lord … become [your] salvation”? What adjustments do you need to access this gift? What parts of your heart do you have to surrender in order to get there?

 

In Christ’s Love,

a guy who is a

powerful surrenderer
