Rescuer

So there you are, thousands of people chasing after you, screaming for your death. Is it laser tag? No. I'm actually thinking of Pharaoh's army chasing every last one of God's people into extinction in the Red Sea until God turned the tables. This is how Israel praised Him for that salvation.

Exodus 15:11-14, 16, 21 (New Living Translation)

11 "Who is like you among the gods, O LORD—
glorious in holiness,
awesome in splendor,
performing great wonders?
12 You raised your right hand,
and the earth swallowed our enemies.

13 "With your unfailing love you lead
the people you have redeemed.
In your might, you guide them
to your sacred home.
14 The peoples hear and tremble;

...

16 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.

...

21 "Sing to the LORD,
for he has triumphed gloriously;
he has hurled both horse and rider
into the sea."

We serve a God unlike any other. When faced with death, you can praise him because he leads you with love. Christ has purchased you with His blood, and He will look after His own.
