Ex 12:27
The people bowed and worshiped
They only worshiped what they could see!
Ex 13:9
9 "The day of observance will be like a sign on your
hand, a memorial between your eyes, and the teaching of GOD in your mouth
the teaching of GOD
Ex 13:21-22
21 GOD went ahead of them in a Pillar of Cloud during the
day to guide them on the way, and at night in a Pillar of Fire to give them
light; thus they could travel both day and night. 22 The Pillar of Cloud by day
and the Pillar of Fire by night never left the people.
Ex 14:22-31
22 The Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground with
the waters a wall to the right and to the left. 23 The Egyptians came after
them in full pursuit, every horse and chariot and driver of Pharaoh racing into
the middle of the sea. 24 It was now the morning watch. GOD looked down from
the Pillar of Fire and Cloud on the Egyptian army and threw them into a panic.
25 He clogged the wheels of their chariots; they were stuck in the mud.
The Egyptians said, "Run from Israel! GOD is fighting
on their side and against Egypt!"
26 GOD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the
sea and the waters will come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots, over
their horsemen."
27 Moses stretched his hand out over the sea: As the day
broke and the Egyptians were running, the sea returned to its place as before.
GOD dumped the Egyptians in the middle of the sea. 28 The waters returned,
drowning the chariots and riders of Pharaoh's army that had chased after Israel
into the sea. Not one of them survived.
29 But the Israelites walked right through the middle of the
sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall to the right and to the left. 30
GOD delivered Israel that day from the oppression of the Egyptians. And Israel
looked at the Egyptian dead, washed up on the shore of the sea, 31 and realized
the tremendous power that GOD brought against the Egyptians. The people were in
reverent awe before GOD and trusted in GOD and his servant Moses
Ex 15:1-18
15:1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to GOD,
giving voice together,
I'm singing my heart out to GOD — what a victory!He pitched
horse and rider into the sea. 2 GOD is my strength, GOD is my song,and, yes!
GOD is my salvation.This is the kind of God I have and I'm telling the
world!This is the God of my father — I'm spreading the news far and wide! 3 GOD
is a fighter,pure GOD, through and through. 4 Pharaoh's chariots and army he
dumped in the sea,The elite of his officers he drowned in the Red Sea. 5 Wild
ocean waters poured over them;they sank like a rock in the deep blue sea. 6
Your strong right hand, GOD, shimmers with power;your strong right hand
shatters the enemy. 7 In your mighty majesty you smash your upstart enemies,You
let loose your hot anger and burn them to a crisp. 8 At a blast from your
nostrils the waters piled up;Tumbling streams dammed up, wild oceans curdled
into a swamp.
9 The enemy spoke, "I'll pursue, I'll hunt them
down,I'll divide up the plunder,I'll glut myself on them;I'll pull out my
sword,my fist will send them reeling."
10 You blew with all your might and the sea covered
them.They sank like a lead weight in the majestic waters. 11 Who compares with
you among gods, O GOD?Who compares with you in power,in holy majesty,In awesome
praises,wonder-working God?
12 You stretched out your right hand and the Earth swallowed
them up. 13 But the people you redeemed, you led in merciful love;You guided
them under your protection to your holy pasture.
14 When people heard, they were scared;Philistines writhed
and trembled; 15 Yes, even the head men in Edom were shaken,and the big bosses
in Moab.Everybody in Canaan panicked and fell faint. 16 Dread and terror sent
them reeling.Before your brandished right arm they were struck dumb like a
stone, 17 Until your people crossed over and entered, O GOD, until the people
you made crossed over and entered. You brought them and planted them on the
mountain of your heritage,The place where you live,the place you made,Your sanctuary,
Master,that you established with your own hands. 18 Let GOD rule forever, for
eternity!
BUT-REALLY FOLLOWING GOD IS WAY MORE THAN JUST SINGING A
SONG!
