Victory, water, food, water, and victory. These three passage paint a picture of God’s provisions for his people. Moses’ song of victory deals with all of these realities and even more. In 15:11 Moses asked “Who is like you,” when he sang to God. As my Dad approaches his 80th birthday my family has spent a number of hours looking at old pictures. Every time we find a new picture I wondered whose face I was admiring and if anybody in the family looked similar. I saw no resemblance between my great-great grandfather and any living relative. I guess some genes don’t travel very far in the lineage. God still displays his majesty through his holiness and his awesomeness in his deeds and wonders. For those of us who have experienced his great acts is there any question about his greatness. And we know that the half has not been told. I think that I may include that question in my corporate prayers; “Who is like you?” We Christians should carry some resemblance of God’s gracious and loving nature. But in power and reverence we will never match that we he possesses.
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
