Exodus 15: 1-18
This chapter records the Song of Moses:
I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously . . . The Lord is a warrior, Yahweh is His Name . . . Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power, Your right hand, O Lord, smashes the enemy . . . Who is like You among the gods, O Lord, glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders? . . . With Your unfailing love You lead the people You have redeemed, in Your might, You guide them to Your sacred home. . . .
Our God is God. He always gets the victory. He always wins every time. No other being is equal to Him, as He is the Designer and the Maker and the Creator of everything that exists.
Just like my son made Lego castles and forests and villages, and he was able to move them around any way he liked, and took them down whenever he wanted; so our God is our Master Who moves us around in the ways He likes. He has given us a will that is free enough to make our own decisions, but limited to what is available to us to decide. Nothing we choose to do can alter His plan for His Creation; He will fulfill all He has determined.
And He is Love. He loves us with a greater love than we can imagine. So He fights for us: against our enemy, the angel of light who has become our adversary and accuser; against the forces of this World system that try to draw us away from His ways; and even against our own flesh, our hearts, that lure us into the lies we tell ourselves.
He gains the victory over everything that works against our good. God is a good Father Who cares for us His children with His strong and gentle hand, to lead us into His righteousness and into His sacred home.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
