Pharaoh Defeated?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know Almighty God defeated Pharaoh. In Jesus name, amen.
During the time of the exodus from Egypt, God did many miracles. God ultimately set the people of Israel free and defeated Pharaoh.
Exodus 15:19 (ESV) tells what happened to who was the most powerful man in Egypt.
“For when the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the people of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea.”
To commemorate God’s victory over Egypt, Psalm 136:10-16 (ESV) recounts the events and miracles.
The psalmist praises God, for his (God’s) steadfast love endures forever.
“To him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
and brought Israel out from among them,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
with a strong hand and an outstretched arm,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who divided the Red Sea in two,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
and made Israel pass through the midst of it,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
to him who led his people through the wilderness,
for his steadfast love endures forever.”
Pharaoh was swallowed up by the Red Sea, and then Moses led the people of Israel to the Promised Land. Ponder God’s deliverance. Praise him.
