It’s astonishing how quickly things change.Three days earlier, the people of Israel were singing. Praising. Rejoicing in the triumph of their God over the armies of Pharaoh. The song of Moses rang out with glory and confidence—“The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation” (Ex. 15:2). But now, just seventy-two hours later, the melody has faded. And the people are grumbling.“...  Read More

In Exodus 15, we find the first recorded song in Scripture—a moment of praise that erupts from the hearts of God’s people after one of the most miraculous acts of deliverance in human history.
