The Pharoah changes his mind, GOD hardens his heart and he rounds up his army and chases after the Israelites. The Israelites get to the Gulf of Aqaba, and it appears that they are trapped. The people freak out and blame Moses and say it is better we remained in slavery than die here.
The route then takes them to the west side of the smaller finger of the reed sea or red sea gulf of Aqaba. Aqaba in Arabic means the obstacle and indeed it may have been. The Philistines were to the north the Egyptians were to the west coming after them and the sea was in front of them.
As a believer we must never put circumstances between us and GOD. But as believers in the plan of GOD we need to put GOD between us and our circumstances.When GOD says GO FORWARD! We are to GOFORWARD, no excuses, no regrets, no fear, HE will open the path and lead HIS people, as a shepherd leads HIS flock.
Moses says the LORD is my strength, my song, my salvation, and my GOD. Well, this song could be sung by any of us, for those attributes apply to us as well. This song proclaims GOD’s immense power, HIS awesome wonders and majesty.
While they were in Egypt, they had no song to sing, only groaning and crying out to the LORD. They weren't singing any song of worship. At least we are not told of any.GOD delivers them then they respond. GOD delivered them so their sighing turns into singing.
This Song has three stanzas (2–6; 7–11; 12–17), there is an intro and a conclusion (Vs 1 and 18-21). Each stanza begins with two verses that tell of what the LORD has done, then two verses of description and a comparison, and concludes with one verse of praise directly addressed to the LORD.
Worship is a response, it is focused, exclusively to GOD Yehovah. 12 times ..
