Sighing or Singing

“The children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage” (Exodus 2:23).
“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord” (Exodus 15:1).

There is really no song to sing until the burden of sin is removed. The Israelites never sang in Egypt while they were slaves to Pharaoh and the Egyptians, a picture of Satan and this world. All they could do in Egypt was sigh! Only after they experienced redemption and deliverance and were safely on the Sinai side of the Red Sea could they sing the praises of the Lord.

 The unsaved world tries to make music but often it has a rather despondent tone, and the words are usually hollow and empty. Not so with the believer. For the one who knows Christ as Saviour, he can truly say, “He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God” (Psalm 40:3). A Christian may not be the greatest singer, but they have the privilege of opening their mouth to “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord” (Psalm 100:1).

Are you a sigh-er or a singer?
