One of the most told stories from the bible is how God guided Moses across the Red Sea. This story is a beautiful reminder to us that no matter how hard or impossible our situation may look - it is definitely a situation God can handle.
I can only imagine the fear the children of Israel must have felt as they saw Pharoah's army closing in behind. Likewise, I can only imagine the pressure Moses must have felt as all eyes landed on him to lead them out of the mess.
First Moses must have been feeling frustrated to have Pharaoh go back on his word. "When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” (Exodus 14:5)
In spite of this Moses stayed steadfast. While Pharaoh is chasing him. The children of Israel cried out in fear, Moses still encouraged them forward."Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (Exodus 14: 13) Amazingly it was through the impossible that God stepped in.
Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. (Exodus 14 : 19-22)
As you move through your week, remember that God sees you. He knows what you are going through. And even if it looks like there is no way through, God has the power to do the impossible!
