This song celebrated the victory that God had given them. It is good for us to praise and thank God for what He does for us as it helps to fix it in our souls.
The motivation for the song is the saving act of the Lord in destroying the Egyptian army.
The Lord is our defence. He has become our salvation. By the things that God does He has become our salvation. For the Israelites it was by destroying the Egyptian army, for us it is His work on the cross. God took the initiative in acting.
The Lord is a warrior. The Israelites were opposed by the Egyptian army, but God Himself is a warrior. He is a warrior for us too. God fights on our behalf in leading us along the path of salvation. God chose the path the Israelites would take out of Egypt to the Promised Land. He chooses the path that He leads us along. Sometimes we may encounter difficult and threatening situations, but the Lord is a warrior on our behalf. He is able to deliver us from all our enemies.
The enemy boasted of what he would do, but confronted by the Lord he could do nothing. We can encounter situations in our life that boast about how they will destroy us, but before the Lord they can do nothing. We need to remember always that the Lord is a warrior for us.
