Red Sea Experience (Jun 3)
Hear Carefully What’s Been Said.
Delivering the people from Egyptian
bondage is only the first step in
God’s plan to bring the Israelites
to the Promised Land of Canaan.
Many obstacles lie ahead.
Pharaoh, whose heart is again
hardened, sends his armies in
pursuit of Moses and the people.
Trapped between the Red Sea & the
rapidly approaching chariots of Egypt
the people cry out in desperation
and God answers miraculously.
Lord, we’ll Trust You & Take Action:
Order the Israelites to turn back
and camp by Pi Hahiroth between
Migdalia and the sea. Camp there
along the shore… I have planned
this in order to display my glory
through Pharaoh & his whole army.
After this the Egyptians will know
that I am the LORD! (Exo 14:1-4).
Moses said to the people: Do not
be afraid. Stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord…(He) will fight
for u…And the Lord said to Moses:
Why do you Cry to Me? Tell the
children of Israel to Go Forward.
Lift up your rod & stretch out over
the sea & divide it. And the children
of Israel shall go on dry ground
thro the midst of the sea (v13-16).
Lord, I am listening for Your voice,
and I am not ruling out anything
unless it really contradicts Your
infallible word or holy character.
There’s no twist in this life journey that is beyond Your nature. So,
Lead me into and out of any predicament You may choose
that may not make sense in near
term but will be eventually. Amen.
Lord, just like the Israelites we may
find ourselves with dashed hope.
But trust that every unexpected
twist of events was part of Your
sovereign and deliberate plan.
Everything was perfectly positioned
so that the only explanation for what
will take place is the mighty hand
of God. So sovereign and mighty
God, Show me Your great power
even as I am standing still and
watching for Your salvation. Amen.
Lord, help me understand while waiting for a leading from You, when it is time to take action. Help me to be wise enough so that I can recognise the answers to my prayers when they come in unique ways I was not expecting. Give me the knowledge of Your will that lets me know when it’s time to stand up & take steps of faith. Amen
