Scriptures: Exodus 13-15, Psalm 114 “The sea looked and fled” (Psalm 114:3a) “Moses answered the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.’” (Exodus 14:13-14) The Israelites are showing just how difficult the journey is going to be for Moses. They are already complaining. “Wouldn’t we have been better off in Egypt?” “Were there no graves there? We could have died there, just as well as out here!” Psalm 114 recounts the mighty power of God. It tells, in part, the story of the Israelites and the mighty acts of God to deliver the people. It provides this simple connection to the power of God, parting the sea so the Israelites could cross the sea safely. God was right, he will fight for them. He will lead them and care for them. Today’s a simple reminder that as we face challenges each day, sometimes we just need to stand still, and watch how God parts the problems and helps us to pass through. More than that, the difficult circumstances we face from time to time, we are wise to consider Christ parting the sea of death, and leading us through to Life. When we follow him, we might be tempted to fall back to the old life. We will no doubt, face great challenges in walking with Christ, but we take comfort in knowing that the death we left behind is no more. In Him, Jordan
