Exodus 13-15-Worship

As I said a few days ago, one of the main themes of the book of Exodus is knowing God through experience. The other day I talked about Moses and Pharaoh each getting to know God through their experiences with Him. In the reading today the whole nation of Israel gets to know God by their experiences at the shore of the Red Sea. They get to see the power of their Yahweh first hand as He not only protects them and saves them by dividing the Sea but then they get to see the wrath of God in the total destruction of the Egyptian army. But as the Daily Walk points our for those who read it, when we begin to know more of God and see Him reveal more to us, we must have a response. Exodus 15 is a key to the narrative in the first half of the book. God reveals Himself and the people have a response. This is called worship. Worship is about revelation and response. Worship takes place daily as we see God moving in our lives and we respond with thanksgiving. Worship in the Sunday services is about revelation and response. Worship take places in the teaching times as God reveals Himself and His will and then response take place through giving, singing, and partaking of Communion. Worship is something that needs to flow from us daily and even hourly as we get to know more of God through experiencing more of Him. Do respond like the Hebrews when we see God revealing more of Himself?
