Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Eines der großartigsten Bilder des Alten Testaments ist die Darstellung, wie Gott seine rechte Hand mit Macht ausstreckt, um für sein Volk gewaltige Taten zu vollbringen. Israel sah sich häufig Gegnern gegenüber gestellt, die mächtiger und erfahrener waren. Doch wenn Gottes Volk ganz auf ihn vertraute, schenkte er ihm große Siege.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
One of the great images of the Old Testament is God stretching out his right hand with power and doing mighty things for his people. So often, Israel faced a larger and more experienced foe. When his people fully trusted in him, God gave them great victories. In this victory song, Moses and Miriam praised God for defeating Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea. Moses praised God as the provider and power behind this miraculous victory and refused to take that honor for himself. Praising God in our times of success and victory reminds us where our true victory originated and was sustained: The Lord, whose right hand shatters the enemy!
Mein Gebet
Vater, groß in Heiligkeit und Majestät, bitte halte mich durch deine Macht und Gnade aufrecht. Ich danke dir dafür, dass du die Macht meines größten Feindes zerschmettert hast. Bitte schenke mir Mut durch dich. In Jesu Namen. Amen.
My Prayer...
Father, you are great in holiness and majesty. You are incomparable in power. I ask, O God, that you please uphold and strengthen me with your power and grace. Thank you for shattering the power of my greatest enemy by the power of your right hand. Please give me the courage to live for you as I trust in the power of "your right hand". In Jesus' name, I praise you, mighty Lord and God. Amen.
