Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.

Exodus chapter 15. I want to do something a little bit different on this podcast episode today.

This chapter in the Bible is a prayer. It's actually a song that Moses and the people of Israel

sang to God after he delivered them out of slavery in Egypt and brought them through the red sea.

and blit the sea in half and led them through on dry land. Just imagine seeing that and then that

sea came crashing down on their enemies on the Egyptians who were threatened to overtake them.

And as soon as they cross that sea, Moses and the people of Israel sing this song to the Lord.

I want to read in the sense, so I'm not going to sing it, but in a sense sing the same song by

reading it. And as you hear it, I just want to invite you to pray according to these words to sing

this song in your own heart to God for his salvation in your life, for his grace and his immersing

his provision in your life. This is good for us as the people of God generations later to join in the

song of those who've gone before us in faith and to praise God in the same way. So let's just pray

this to God direct from Scripture and light of those who've gone before us in faith. Exodus chapter

15 verse 1, I will sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously the horse and his rider he has

thrown into the sea. So think as we pray God, we praise you for what you did on that day in Exodus

chapter 14 for what you did centuries ago for those who trusted in you and for what you promised to

do in my life today and all those who trusted you to work for us to fight for us to save us. So

keep going. Verse 2, the Lord is my strength and my song and he has become my salvation. This is my

God and I will praise him. My father's God and I will exalt him. The Lord is a man of war. The

Lord is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea and his chosen officers

were sunk in the red sea. The floods covered them. They went down in the depths like a stone.

Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power. Your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy.
