A Noble Ancestry and a Glorious Resolution
Homilist
Exodus 15:1
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying, I will sing to the LORD…


I. A NOBLE ANCESTRY. "My father's God." Who are the men who have the most illustrious ancestry? The men who honoured, served, and trusted the one true and living God. The same God does for all ages; His character commends itself to the adoration of all souls. It is natural to value anything our loving fathers love. We value their favourite books, but how much more their God, the totality of goodness, the fountain of all blessedness?

II. A GLORIOUS RESOLUTION. "I will exalt Him." How can we "exalt Him?" Enthrone Him in our affections as Lord of lords, and King of kings, ruling all thoughts, animating and directing all activities.
