Punk'd at the Red Sea




I always thought the story of Moses parting the Red Sea was beyond cool. I was not able to really appreciate the strength of this story until I faced some things in my life to where there was no way out.

If you are being chased by something, the enemy, your past, etc...And it seems like you are running for your life and there is no escape...Then this story should appeal to you in a major way.

Exodus 13 and 14 is where we find this amazing source of God's power to do the unimaginable. Moses and the Israelites were fleeing from the Egyptian army...

And God punks the Egyptian army so hard...
In Chapter 14 and verse 6, it says "For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, they are entangled in the land, and the wilderness has shut them in."

The enemy "THOUGHT" they were trapped! It "LOOKED" like they were trapped! You just "THOUGHT" you were trapped, but you are anything but!

God will make a way where there seems to be no way!

Verse 16 is where Moses was told to stretch his rod over the sea, and "divide" it. You know what happens later in the story, God's people walk through the sea with the water like walls on the left and the right of them and the entire Egyptian army was killed when the "water returned to it's strength" trying to chase them.

Wow!

Major encouragement to you today! You are God's chosen, and He will make a way for you to escape especially when it seems like you are trapped and the enemy is right on your heels! Have the faith and courage to trust His power!

Have a great rest of the week, God is good! Shaun
