Praise for Deliverance
They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!”
Revelation 15:3
After the Hebrew slaves passed safely through the Red Sea, Moses and Miriam led them in a song of praise to God on the far shore of the sea. It is referred to as the song of Moses (Exodus 15:1-18). John, in his vision of the saints saved during the Tribulation (Revelation 12:11), saw those saints also standing beside a sea—“like a sea of glass mingled with fire” (Revelation 15:2, ESV). They were singing “the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb” (Revelation 15:3-4) in praise to God for His deliverance of them through His judgments on the earth.
Jews today still sing the song of Moses, their great deliverer who rescued them from destruction in Egypt. Just as Tribulation saints will sing praise to God for His deliverance of them, so it is incumbent upon Christians today to sing praises to God for His deliverance of them from the destructive power and penalty of sin.
Consider incorporating Revelation 15:3-4 into your own personal times of devotion.
Salvation is not deliverance from hell alone; it is deliverance from sin.
Charles Spurgeon
1. I've found a friend who is all to me,
His love is ever true;
I love to tell how He lifted me,
And what His grace can do for you.
(Refrain)
2. He saves me from ev'ry sin and harm,
Secures my soul each day;
I'm leaning strong on His mighty arm;
I know He'll guide me all the way.
(Refrain)
3. When poor and needy and all alone,
In love He said to me,
"Come unto Me and I'll lead you home,
To live with Me eternally."
(Refrain)
Refrain:
Saved by His pow'r divine,
Saved to new life sublime!
Life is now sweet
And my joy is complete,
For I'm saved, saved, saved!
Many hymns of the faith sing of the hope and glory of salvation. This is one that I have known since my youth. I pray that you know others, new and old that declare your faith and hope in the complete work of Jesus Christ in your life!
