A Red Sea Moment

Exodus 14:13-14

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still. (Ex. 14:14)

MOSES SPOKE THESE WORDS right before God told him to stretch his hand out over the Red Sea. Pharaoh and his men were closing in and the Israelites were frightened.Most of us know what happened after that. The Red Sea parted, the Israelites crossed to the other side safely, and Pharaoh's chariots and horsemen were swallowed up in the water. "The LORD will fight for you" must have been comforting for the Israelites to hear; especially since they were homeless. They were probably an easy target for not only Pharaoh, but any other army they might encounter. And God did fight for them. Pharaoh was left on the wrong side of the sea and the Israelites were able to continue their journey to freedom. God showed His faithfulness to the Israelites over and over as they wandered the desert. These days, we may not need to be rescued from an army of chariots and horsemen, but isn't it good to know that our God is capable of such a feat? God is powerful. He can do anything, anytime, anyplace. Our God is mighty. He's proven himself in the Scriptures. He's proven it today as He works in our lives. Next time you're facing a Red Sea moment, take a time out. Remember that God loves you and is powerful enough to help you in your situation.
