In ancient times the Lord made the depths of the sea a path for the redeemed to pass over, and thus “the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion.” They shall come with loud acclamations, with singing and gladness. “But,” you say, “there is to be long wandering in the wilderness of sin before that can take place.” Not a bit of it. That was not at all God’s plan for Israel, but was the result of their unbelief. You see, they stopped singing, and began murmuring. That is the secret of their wandering in the wilderness. Keep on singing, not a forced song, but a song from the heart because God is your strength and your song and your salvation, and you will find that these “songs of deliverance” that compass you about will be a shield that will protect you from every assault of the enemy. This is not theory, but fact that has been demonstrated. The power that divided the Red Sea is the power that is ours every day in our struggle to escape from the bondage of sin. He that believeth on Christ shall not be confounded. The “exceeding great and precious promises” of God make us partakers of the divine nature; therefore sing them.—Selected.
