Deliverance: A Study In Exodus預覽

What does it say?

Pharaoh pursued the Israelites into the wilderness, and they were caught between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army. God made a way through the sea and destroyed Pharaoh’s army. 

What does it mean?

Although the Israelites were no longer in Egypt, they were not free from danger. Pharaoh changed his mind and wanted to bring the Israelites back to Egypt as slaves. The people of Israel were caught between two obstacles—the Egyptian army and the Red Sea. However, God was going to show the people that He was capable of providing a way through a seemingly hopeless situation, and Pharaoh’s army would not stand in the way. All the people had to do was to walk forward, and God would move the obstacle from before them.

How should I respond?

We have all faced situations in which there seems to be no way out. However, God delights in making a path when we see only obstacles. As He guides, our job is to press on and keep moving forward. What situation in your life seems too big to overcome? Will you stop right now and tell God that you trust Him to work it out? Begin today to move your thoughts towards trust in God and away from fear. When you persevere, you’ll be amazed at the miracles He will do right in front of you.
