An Encouraging Deliverance
Exodus 15:17-18
You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O LORD…


Two ways this great deliverance was encouraging.

1. It was such an instance of God's power as would terrify their enemies and quite dishearten them (vers. 14-16). It had this effect (see Deuteronomy 2:4; Numbers 22:3; Joshua 2:9, 10).

2. It was such a beginning of God's favour to them as gave them an earnest of the perfection of His kindness. This was but in order to something further (ver. 17).

( M. Henry, D. D..)
