IV.
I encourage you to read again this week’s focus passage. You can find it at –
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+15%3A1-3%2C+11-21&version=NRSV

Today pay attention to what the singers claim about God.

V.
Let’s see … I notice –

… strength … might… salvation … majestic in holiness … awesome … splendor … … steadfast love …

What else along those lines draws your attention?

Do you find words like these in your songs of praise?

VI.
Maybe there are other elements in the song. What else do they claim for God.

… warrior … wonders … you stretched out your hand, the earth swallowed them … the chiefs of Edom were dismayed … melted away … terror and dread … the might of your arm … thrown into the sea …

Why do the Israelites voice these praises?

Is this the proper subject (and content) for praise? For prayer?
