The thrilling account of the Israelites' deliverance ought to inspire us to reflect on the redemption we have in Christ and the revelation we have in the Bible. Have I experienced God's deliverance from sin in my life? If so, am I grateful for God lifting me out of the kingdom of darkness and placing me in his kingdom of light? (1 Peter 2:9)
Following his redemption of Israel, God desired and expected their obedience. Yet several times, they stubbornly chose to disobey. Where do I find difficulty in responding obediently to God? Where do I grumble against God? Where do I "test" him? (Exodus 17:7)
