Prepare: What assurance does this give you? "For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them." (Matthew 18:20)
Read: Exodus 14:10-31
As the Israelites wonderingly march through the divided Red sea, it became clear that when God is with us, what could easily be our destruction, always turns out to be our deliverance.
When God is with us, He does not only provide light for His people, He also makes darkness for the enemies of His people. You can always be assured of protection, when you are assured of His presence.
It was night when the people made the journey of obedience, across the sea, so that at dawn, they would never forget the spectacle of seeing the hordes of Egyptians perish in terror. It means that even if we walk with fear in the night, there is bound to be sunrise of victory. For when God is with us, even our enemies will realize that the Lord fighting our battles (Rom 8:31). Strenthen your confidence, therefore, with the assurance in I John 4:4.
This passage does not focus on the scientific details of how these event occurred. The passage is pre-occupied with the 'who' and the 'why'.The meaning and the purpose. Three things became clear as a result. First, there was honour and glory to the Lord. Second, the people put their faith in God. And third, it endorsed the leadership of Moses.
Respond: Join hands with someone and experience the power of prayer that is assured to us in Matthew 18:19.
