While You Keep Silent                                      Shade in the Desert – Exodus 15

July 9, 2006         

 

 

Feeling overwhelmed??

 

 

   Exodus 14:13-15:

 

 

   Psalm 46:10:

 

“Most obstacles involve numbers or amounts.”

 

Worship –

 

 

 

 

I. It’s Incredibly personal   (1-12)

 

 

 

     1-3 – “I” / “my”

 

…when at worship, it is important what God receives,

not what the worshipper receives / feels

 

     - prose to poetry…

 

         …Hebrew poetry = a rhyming of ideas –

 

 

 

 

 

    - it’s a beautiful song that’s repeated! – Revelation 15:1-3

 

 

II. It’s Focused on God's  Future – (13-18)

 

            - confidence in what’s ahead

 

 

 

 

 

 

   Exodus 14:13-15:

 

 

Do I want ‘Shade in the Desert’?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  - It’s all in your perspective!

 

     …do you delight in what God has done?

     …do you delight in what God will do?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Proper worship puts life into perspective!”
