RED SEA
I had several friends this week whose children were at a RED
SEA moment of their lives. These are the
times when you will think that everything is going great and “wham” just like
that a barrier is put before you. You
can’t go through it, you can’t go over it, you can’t even go around it the only
thing you can do is deal with it. Have
you ever been in one of those situations?
Every thing was going as you had planned and all of a sudden your life
goes into a tailspin. So what do we do
when you encounter a RED SEA moment?
Lets go back and remember what happened when the Israelites
were at the edge of the RED SEA. They
looked ahead and there was the water with no land in sight. They looked behind and the Egyptian army was
gaining on them. They just knew that
Moses had led them to the barrier of the RED SEA because there weren’t enough
graves in Egypt for them. (This was a
joke- Egypt no burial sites?) We know
what happened next, the sea parted! The
waters were parted and the Israelites journeyed through the split waters. The Egyptians weren’t that lucky. As they ventured into the path of the parted,
the waves began to close back in on them.
The Israelites were saved and safe to journey onward.
When you come to your Red Sea don’t give up or be
discouraged; the Lord is just waiting for the right time to part the
waters. God is just preparing us for the
wonderful time ahead.
Exodus 14:21-31
New International Version (NIV)
21 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, 22 and the Israelites went through the sea
on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.
