第 11 天 出埃及記 15:1-7, 11-13
1 那時，摩西和以色列人向耶和華唱歌說:我要向耶和華歌唱，因他大大戰勝，將馬和騎馬的投在海中｡
2 耶和華是我的力量，我的詩歌，也成了我的拯救｡ 這是我的神，我要讚美他， 是我父親的神，我要尊崇他｡
3 耶和華是戰士；他的名是耶和華｡
4 法老的車輛､軍兵，耶和華已拋在海中；他特選的軍長都沉於紅海｡
5 深水淹沒他們；他們如同石頭墜到深處｡
6 耶和華阿，你的右手施展能力，顯出榮耀；耶和華阿，你的右手摔碎仇敵｡
7 你大發威嚴，推翻那些起來攻擊你的；你發出烈怒如火，燒滅他們像燒碎一樣｡
出埃及記 15:11-13
11 耶和華阿，眾神之中，誰能像你?誰能像你─至聖至榮，可頌可畏，施行奇事?
12 你伸出右手，地便吞滅他們｡
13 你憑慈愛領了你所贖的百姓；你憑能力引他們到了你的聖所｡
Day 11 Exodus 15:1-7, 11-13
1 Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying:
“I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!
2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation；
He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
3 The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea；
His chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
5 The depths have covered them; They sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 “Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power；
Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.
7 And in the greatness of Your excellence, You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth Your wrath; It consumed them like stubble.
11 “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 You stretched out Your right hand; The earth swallowed them.
13 You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed; You have guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.

God led the Israelites across the Red Sea, and performed wonders before them. His mighty deeds remind and assure us that our God is able to carry us through any difficulty to come. To Him belong all majesty and glory. He is not only our close friend, but the Creator, the Holy one. No one else can compare with Him. In the same way that He led the Israelites out of Egypt He has been working in us: to save us, free us, guide us, and strengthen us through trials and temptations. Therefore, not only shall we give praise to Him when we are experiencing His mighty power in the middle of difficulties, but we should always remember His mercy and grace, and learn to quickly turn back to Him. May we never forget that our God is faithful, willing to give and forgive, and full of blessings. He will certainly answer our prayers in Christ.
神帶領以色列人過紅海，在他們的身上行了奇妙的事，這樣的經歷實在讓我們看到，祂的能力足以幫助我們改變我們所處的任何困境。祂滿有威嚴和榮耀，一方面祂是我們的朋友，但祂更是聖潔的王和偉大的創造者， 世上沒有任何的事物可以與祂相比。祂過去曾帶領以色列人出埃及，在今天這個世界中祂一樣在人中不斷實行拯救、釋放、引領和幫助。我們經歷苦難蒙 神拯救或脫離試煉以後，不只一時對 神發出讚美與感謝，傾吐心中的快慰，就是在以後的經歷中同樣學習仰望 神，順服 神，不要忘記神的恩典。因為我們的 神是信實的，可靠的，樂意施恩的，豐富的，也應允人在祂面前的禱告。
