Exodus 14-15 The Red Sea and Murmuring Part 1

Have you ever experienced a situation in which you felt helpless?

If so, do you remember ever seeking out the Lord for help??

In Exodus 14 we see how the Lord helps the Israelites even though they are complaining aka murmuring.

The Israelites see the Egyptians pursuing them and become scared. They allow their fear to get the best of them. They say they were better off in Egypt as servants than wandering in the wilderness to their death.

In verse 13 we read this phrase: Fear ye not, stand still.

At times fear may cloud your judgement and possibly make you forget the Lord. This may possibly lead you to make a rash decision. Stand still and be patient. The Lord will help you. But you must practice faith.

In movies we have seen the Red Sea part immediately after Moses puts his rod over it. This is not what happens in the scriptures. The parting of the sea happens overnight. At which point the Israelites are still moving forward not truly knowing whether the sea will part. This exemplifies the principle of faith.

We need to trust in the Lord even if we are uncertain of what will happen.

I know he will bless your life. He has blessed mine.
