The deliverance of the Israelites was by acts of great power, and so was our deliverance in conversion. How mightily were we delivered from the grip of sin, from the grip of the world, from our old viewpoint and worldview and attitudes, from our lost condition! Their persecutors were destroyed. It was the power of God. So we have gone from God’s majesty to his grace, mercy and compassion, to his power in defending his people.
Do you praise and thank God for salvation? Do you do this regularly? You exalt God, you call upon his name, you magnify him, and you affirm his attributes. You praise and thank him that there was ever a plan of salvation for lost mankind; that Christ came and there would be a covenant relationship for us, and then you thank him for your salvation, and remember the details with praise and thanks, and the miracle which he wrought in putting new life in us. You move to yourself, to the particular, and you thank him personally.
