Topic: Miriam’S Marvellous Music

Bible Reading: Exodus 15:20-21 (KJV)

20And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

21And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

KEY VERSE: “And Miriam answered them, sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea” (Exodus 15:21).

Message

Israel had just been delivered at the Red Sea from the scourge of the Egyptians. The Bible says, “And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.” The immediate response of Moses after the Red Sea crossing experience was to compose a song of triumph to celebrate God’s power, salvation and faithfulness. Part of this same song, Miriam led her women to sing with timbrels and dancing. Church history is replete with Christian women who composed music or sang to God’s glory. They include: Fanny Crosby who sang, “Blessed Assurance,” Adelaide Pollard, who penned down, “Have Thine Own Way Lord,” and a host of other gospel singers like Wanda Jackson, and Shirley Caesar.

Music also works miracles. Jehoshaphat and the children of Israel were delivered from the Moabites and the Ammonites when they began to sing and praise God and the Lord ambushed the enemies and they were smitten. Your miracle is in your mouth through music!

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Lord, I lift up my heart in worship to you.

CHALLENGE

Experience miracles as you praise God today.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
