THE LORD IS A WARRIOR

Exodus 15:2-3 NLT 

The Lord is my strength and my song;

he has given me victory.

This is my God, and I will praise him—

my father’s God, and I will exalt him!

3 The Lord is a warrior;

Yahweh is his name!

Moses and the Israelites had just come through the Red Sea on dry land and seen all their Egyptian enemies drowned in the sea behind them, never to bother them again! No wonder they were singing their victory song! What an experience!

Pharaoh and 600 of his chariots and the best of his soldiers had been in hot pursuit and you can almost hear the thunder of the hooves and the rumbling roar of the chariot wheels intimidating the Israelites as they charged up. It looked hopeless and they were defenceless in themselves but praise God they had Yahweh, the great I AM, protecting them and fighting for them. When we have God on our side we are never hopeless, and we’re always in the majority!😊

God wants to remind us we too have been given the victory over all the principalities and powers of darkness when Jesus destroyed the enemy on our behalf at the Cross. 

Jesus is a mighty warrior, He is Yahweh, the great I AM. Jesus is The Victor and we can shout His victory from the housetops no matter how intimidating the enemy tries to be - he is already defeated!

So let’s praise God with all we’ve got within us and give Him all the glory He deserves, because He is also our strength and our song today and everyday, because He has given us His victory. Hallelujah!  I hope you’ve got a ‘Woohoo’ going on at your house! Amen.😊
