Sing Into Your Storm ~ Overcoming Adversity Through High Praise

“For many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the L ORD delivers them out of them all.” (Psalms 34:19)

Then suddenly the Cloud Presence of God appeared, descending right down upon the children of Israel, separating them from the Egyptian armies. As night fell, that Presence became like a wall of fire keeping the Egyptians back from attacking them all night. It was a firewall of God’s Shekinah Glory protecting them! God’s Glory can come and surround you in the midst of your enemies, as you are encountering raging storms!

“But You, O L ORD , are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the L ORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. (Psalm 3:3-4)

“The Glory of God may be your rear guard.” (Isaiah 58:8)

“For I, declares the LORD, will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the Glory in her midst.” (Zechariah 2:5)

As Moses stretched his hand out over the sea, it suddenly divided into a wall of water on both the left and the right sides. The children of Israel passed through – on dry ground! Eventually the Egyptian army was able to pursue them, and when they were fully inside the midst of the sea passage, the waters suddenly came swiftly down upon them. Not even one from the Egyptian army survived! When the Children of Israel reached the other side, then they began to sing victoriously. They sang The Song of Moses and The Song of Miriam . These were songs of triumph in the Lord!
