Praise Focus-Wonder Working Power

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus is found in Exodus 15:11.

This is the song that Moses and the Israelites sang after they crossed the Red Sea safely on dry ground.

“Who among the gods is like you, LORD? Who is like you-majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?”

God miraculously delivered the Israelites from captivity in Egypt. Exodus 14:31 records that when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.

The good news of Jesus is also a picture of deliverance. At the cross, Jesus stretched out His hands and displayed the wonder-working power of His grace to deliver us from the chains of sin. He is uniquely qualified to save us from sin and guide us to the Promised land.

“The wonder-working power of grace to set us free” is a reason to praise God in the Year of Focus.
