What is the meaning of Exodus 15:2? The LORD is my strength The very first claim Moses and Israel make is intensely personal: “The LORD is my strength”. • Strength here is not borrowed power; it is God Himself actively sustaining His people in real time. They had just watched the Red Sea collapse on Egypt’s army—victory none of them could have engineered. • Psalm 28:7 echoes the same truth: “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.” When circumstances drain us, the believer turns to an unfailing, divine reservoir. • Isaiah 40:29‒31 reassures weary hearts that those who wait on the LORD will “renew their strength.” and my song Deliverance naturally erupts into music. God isn’t only the One who rescues; He becomes the melody of celebration. • Psalm 118:14 repeats these words verbatim, linking triumph and worship. • In Revelation 15:3 the redeemed sing “the song of Moses, the servant of God,” showing that heaven still resounds with this ancient chorus. • When we let God write the soundtrack of our lives, gratitude replaces grumbling. and He has become my salvation Salvation is not merely something God gives; it is what He becomes to His people. • Isaiah 12:2 reflects the same line, tying together strength, song, and salvation. • 1 Peter 1:5 reminds believers that they are “shielded by God’s power” until the final unveiling of salvation. • The Exodus was a picture pointing forward to the greater rescue Jesus accomplished at the cross (John 19:30). He is my God With enemy chariots sinking behind them, Israel claims a covenant reality: this infinite LORD is “my” God. • Deuteronomy 10:21 declares, “He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders.” • Personal devotion builds on objective acts; God proved Himself, then invited intimate relationship. and I will praise Him Response is required. Praise is the fitting answer to power and grace. • Psalm 145:4‒6 models this: “One generation will commend Your works to the next… they will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds.” • Hebrews 13:15 calls believers to offer “a sacrifice of praise.” Worship is not optional adornment; it is commanded allegiance. my father’s God The song anchors the present miracle in past faithfulness. • In Exodus 3:6 God introduced Himself to Moses as “the God of your father.” The same God who watched over Joseph in Egypt now rescues Joseph’s descendants. • Acts 3:13 speaks of “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” glorifying His Servant Jesus. Our faith is never an isolated episode; it rests on a long history of covenant fidelity. and I will exalt Him Praise that starts in the heart must rise outward and upward. Exalting means lifting God high in word and deed. • Psalm 99:5 commands, “Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His footstool; He is holy.” • Philippians 2:9 shows the ultimate exaltation: God has “highly exalted” Jesus and given Him the name above every name. Our lifting up of God mirrors heaven’s verdict. summary Exodus 15:2 moves from power experienced (“The LORD is my strength”) to praise expressed (“I will exalt Him”), weaving past covenant (“my father’s God”) with present rescue (“He has become my salvation”). It teaches that God Himself is the source, song, and Savior of His people. Having witnessed His mighty acts, believers respond with personal trust, generational gratitude, and vocal worship—exalting the LORD who alone deserves the highest place in every heart. |
