I would like to talk to you today about
crossing the Red Sea. Remember when
Pharoah finally let the children of Israel
go free into the Promise Land after four
hundred years of slavery? Pharoah then
had a change of heart and sent his army
to bring them again into his bondage.
With the Red Sea stretching before them
and the enemy gaining from behind,
Moses cried out to God and God simply
replied, “Stand Still.”
Got wanted them to know that saving
themselves was impossible.
Outnumbered and helpless, God wanted
them to know that salvation was in His
hands. Do you stand at a ‘Red Sea’ place
in your life today? Is the enemy behind
you and the waters lie before, and you see
no way through it? In this situation, God
again replies, “Stand Still.”
I stood at the edge of the Red Sea recently
as my son entered the hospital with
unknown conditions. After three weeks,
we still did not have an answer. By faith,
we kept our eyes on the Lord, knowing
that only He could part the Red Sea and
calm the waters. By faith, we knew that
God’s presence would destroy the enemy.
God says to you today, “Turn your
problems over to me. I have done it
before, and I will do it again for you.”
Thank Him when He simply says, “Stand
Still.”
Father, teach me to keep my eyes upward
even in the midst of the most impossible
circumstances.
Amen.
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. Psalm 106:9-10 KJV
