42 “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously. He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.”
Exodus 15:1
This is the beginning of the song of Moses which he sang to remind the children of Israel that the Lord has worked all things out for them and will continue to be faithful to them. Surely we must also rehearse the blessings of the Lord in our own life and practice the art of gratitude and humility.
What a blessing it is to be able to go to the supermarket and get our food and have enough money to pay! We also get to choose what we would like! This is one of the many “ordinary” blessing we experience every day. Let us pray for hearts that recognize the love of God and His daily provision. Let us ever magnify His glorious name for all that He does for us.
“Oh magnify the Lord with me. Let’s exalt his name together.”
Psalm 34:3
The Lord has given us the victory over self and sin and has procured a great salvation for us through the death of Christ on the cross. What a victory that was for Satan is defeated and self is denied and crucified with Christ. We may know the victory every day and live lives that are pleasing to the Lord. We do not have to succumb to temptations but are conquerors of it in Jesus’ name. Every day we can claim the victory in our Saviour’s name and know the freedom from sin and the carping of sinful self.
