SONG of MOSES
Conclusion
by David G. Rose
Last week, we started to discuss the Song of Moses in Exodus 15. Today, we consider What kind of song was it? What was this vaunted leader trying to say to the next generation?
1. It was a song of redemption – Israel had been captives of Egypt. They were finally freed from bondage by the power of God and by the shedding of the blood of the Passover lamb. The theme is deliverance!
As Christians, our song is rooted in the shedding of the Blood of Christ, our Passover Lamb. The power of the Cross of Jesus remains in fell effect today! We are free from the bondage of sin through the precious Blood of Jesus.
2. It was a song of victory – Pharoah chased them into the Red Sea. But through the miraculous provision of God they crossed safely on dry ground, and the waters drown the pursuing enemy. The sea of God’s judgment buried those who would defeat God’s anointed ones. Our sins are like the blood-thirsty Egyptians. They pursue us until finally defeated by God Himself. God gives us the victory through the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).
3. It was a song of praise – Moses sang his song to the Lord. This is true worship. We must be careful to not make our songs a showcase of our talents or musical skills. True worship is a pouring forth of gratitude overflowing with praise and thanksgiving. It was God who had led them out of captivity. No tambourine or trombone should upstage God! In true worship, we pour out our heart to God and praise His holy Name.
4. It was a song of testimony – Moses claimed God as his own. Like David said in Psalm 23, “The Lord is my Shepherd.” This was a personal testimony offered to a personal God. These “personal” songs are powerful in the life of the Believer. My favorites include “My Jesus I Love The,” “My Wonderful Lord,” and “My Redeemer.” Be personal with God. He is your personal Savior.
5. It was a song of dedication - In verse 2 (KJV), Moses says “I will prepare Him an habitation.” Moses was going to build God a house, a resting place among His people. And what a privilege it is to have the Almighty God residing with you. The Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 2:22 that we are the habitation of God through the Spirit. God wants to dwell in us and walk in us (2 Corinthians 6:16). Jesus said in John 14:23 KJV, “If a man love me we will come and make our abode with him.” Make your heart His throne today!
6. It was a song on the other side – Praise God for the other side. When God has brought us through the trial and test, how glorious! And even more, when we get to the other side of this life, and we stand in the presence of Jesus victorious, what rejoicing there will be. “When we all see Jesus, we’ll sing and shout the victory!
By the way, did you know that we will all sing the Song of Moses in Heaven? Check out Revelation 15:3. Let his song uplift you today, and in eternity.

Wisdom shouts
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
Proverbs 1:20-25 NLT - Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate: “How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge? Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise. “I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered.
Prayer: Dear Lord – All praise to your Holy name. Help me to make wise decisions today. May I hear your voice of knowledge and reject all foolish counsel. Cause me to read your Word and to live a noble and just life. In the name of Jesus I pray.
BIBLE PROPHECY

Old Testament: Afterlife
5 Evidences of life after death
by David G. Rose
We have been discussing what the Old Testament teaches about life after death. Here are five additional evidences about life after death as presented in the Old Testament:
1. The phrase “gathered to his fathers” or “people” must refer to a firm assurance of the existence of life after death (Genesis 49:29; Numbers 20:24; Judges 2:10)
2. The translations of Enoch and Elijah prove the existence of a future life in God’s presence (Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5-6; 2 Kings 2:1-13)
3. When Jesus stated that He was the God of Abraham, He was clarifying that He was the God of the living. He knew that Abraham was in the presence of God (Matthew 22:32)
4. The doctrine of the Resurrection is taught in Job 19:26 and Daniel 12:1-2
5. When Jacob said that he would “go down into the grave unto my son mourning,” he could not have meant a literal grave because Joseph was supposed to have been devoured by a wild beast. He knew Joseph lived after death.
Bottom line: Life after death was believed and taught in the Old Testament.
Next week: What does the New Testament teach about life after death?
Therefore, comfort each other and edify one another.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Finally....
For stay at home Christians...
We started this ministry with you in mind. Recent reports state that many Christians no longer attend a church. They have been offended, or have to work, or they cannot physically leave their home, and so they stay at home. The coronavirus has closed many churches.
Our heart is to reach out to you with Bible studies, hospital visitation, prayer for the sick, serving the Lord's Supper, counsel, etc. Just call on us and we will be your personal pastor.
There is no obligation or membership. When you need personal ministry, click here for more information >>>>

PRICELESS TREASURERS
by Carol Milder
There are priceless treasures in my home, small reminders of love and friendship, purposely placed in strategic rooms, on walls and on the shelves that hold my very favorite things. These tokens of love continue to bring joy and a smile on every remembrance of the person that thoughtfully blessed me. At an estate sale, these precious items might not have any monetary value, certainly not what they are worth, to me.
There is that coffee cup, a gift from the kids, a painting of my home from my brother-in-law, a needlepoint perfectly stitched by my sister-in-law, a small statue of a worshipper from a sister in the Lord, a figurine my mother painted when she was pregnant with my sister, a piece of pottery, crafted by a dear friend, a book with the pages folded to spell Grandmother, perfectly welded and painted horseshoes, a Precious Moment with a sweet story that only I know, a little rose rock, the tiny koala bear that I found hidden on a lamp when my brother and Heidi went home to Australia, a hand blown glass long stem rose, a beautiful glass container, one of the last birthday gifts I received from Debbie, before she went to Heaven. These treasures remind me of the mutual love that is shared between the giver and this receiver, a snapshot in time, a memory of a special day, of time spent together, of the thought behind the gift.
Honestly, I am not overly sentimental, I find the greatest joy in the presence of loved ones, rarely in a present. We have a God that gives good gifts, He delights in good and perfect gifts. God uses these tokens of love to remind me I am loved by friends and family and that He loves me. Giving is easy, and these treasures teach me that receiving with joy, blesses the giver, as well as God, who gives good and perfect gifts. . Acts 20:35 … It is more blessed to give than to receive.
James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
All-day Praise!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Romans 8:26 ESV
