Mary Did You Know?: Part 1

Mary Did You Know?: Part 1 || Day 5

Exodus 15:1-21 NLT

Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him! The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name! Pharaoh’s chariots and army he has hurled into the sea. The finest of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea. The deep waters gushed over them; they sank to the bottom like a stone. “Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O Lord, smashes the enemy. In the greatness of your majesty, you overthrow those who rise against you. You unleash your blazing fury; it consumes them like straw. At the blast of your breath, the waters piled up! The surging waters stood straight like a wall; in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard. “The enemy boasted, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. I will plunder them and consume them. I will flash my sword; my powerful hand will destroy them.’ But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. “Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders? You raised your right hand, and the earth swallowed our enemies. “With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home. The peoples hear and tremble; anguish grips those who live in Philistia. The leaders of Edom are terrified; the nobles of Moab tremble. All who live in Canaan melt away; terror and dread fall upon them. The power of your arm makes them lifeless as stone until your people pass by, O Lord, until the people you purchased pass by. You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain— the place, O Lord, reserved for your own dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established. The Lord will reign forever and ever!” When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots, and charioteers rushed into the sea, the Lord brought the water crashing down on them. But the people of Israel had walked through the middle of the sea on dry ground! Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine and led all the women as they played their tambourines and danced. And Miriam sang this song: “Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.”

Miriam and the children of Israel gave God praise for what He did for them. Church, what they were praising God for is what we are going to be praising God for. There are things that they gave God praise for that day that must be brought to our attention.

They praised Him for securing their future and destiny.

Beloved, when the Lord took the Egyptians out, He didn’t just destroy them. He destroyed the path that any other Egyptians could possibly take to get to them. He didn’t just cut the enemy off, He cut off any future access to them.

The same God that destroyed their enemy, the same God that cut off any future access to them, is the same God who went before them and secured their destiny. The Bible says in verse 17, “You will bring them in and plant them on Your own mountain. The place reserved for Your own dwelling the sanctuary of the Lord, the place Your hands have established.”

I want you to know that we are stepping into a season of revealed destiny. This is the time when God is planting some people where He wants them.

Psalm 92:13 says, “Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.”

Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Mary did you know that God has a place on His mountain for you and your family? Did you know that God has a place in His sanctuary for you and your family? Did you know that He has future established for you and yours that no enemy can ever take you out of?
