Shabbat Shirah | Miriam’s Song

The time for singing has come this week! We are to sing and worship the King of kings always, but this week is very special indeed. This Shabbat, we remember two songs in Scripture, the Song of Moses and the Song of Deborah (Exodus 15:1-8 and Judges 5:1-31).

Each song commemorates a great victory and triumph when Adonai brought destruction on the enemies of Israel, each a time they felt truly free for the first time in generations when the Red Sea came down on the army of Pharaoh and the day that Deborah and Barak led Israel to a miraculous victory against their Canaanite oppressors with no weapons at all.

It is a week to remember the impossible miracles Adonai has done in our lives, to thank Him and glorify His name for true freedom and victory in Him and Him in us.  Especially during these times when evil is being called good and good is being called evil, and when usurpers think they have won, we are able to worship the King of kings just as Miriam and Deborah did.  We war from the victory we have in Yeshua, not for it, and that does not change no matter the situation or circumstance.  He sees a tale before us in the midst of our enemies.

The enemy came with taunts and curses heavily armoured and full of confidence, but the Lord Mighty in Battles met them in that moment and made their armor become anchors and turned their courage into terror.

If you have giants you are facing that seem well prepared and certain of victory, today is the day to remember the One who fights our battles, and that there is nothing that can come between The Father and His sons and daughters.

Today we lift up every burden on our hearts and minds and give it to the One who can and will deliver us from it.

Be free, declare the victory in the name of Yeshua, put on His yoke that’s easy and burden that’s light, and rejoice, because this is not a time of tears, but for singing.  Drop all of the baggage and weight of disappointment that things did not go as we thought they were supposed to in our minds.  The plans of Adonai are greater than we can possibly conceive, and just like at the Red Sea and the victory against the Canaanites, all glory will go to the Most High in the trap He has set for the fallen kingdom of darkness.  Join us this week as we worship the Great I Am in victory, joy, gladness, and faith in the One who never fails, and Who fights our battles.
