Exodus 14:10 (NKJV) 10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.
Most times, fear will cause us to cry out to the Lord.
We all have this in common. We get scared, and then we cry out. It’s a normal reaction. And situations of desperation will bring us to our knees.
Pharaoh let the children of Israel go, but when God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, (Exodus 14:4) he chased them down.
The Israelite’s were scared and upset with Moses for taking them out of Egypt and leading them into the wilderness. They thought they would have been better off staying in bondage to the Egyptians.
But God showed them His miraculous hand when He parted the Red Sea to walk through and then closed it back up while the Egyptians were chasing them down. The entire Egyptian army was destroyed in the sea.
Exodus 14:27 (NKJV) 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
How scared are we today? Are we so scared we are wishing we could go back into bondage because we don’t like the looks of the wilderness or the new journey God has put in front of us?
2 Kings 17:39 (NKJV) 39 But the Lord your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”
Someone reading this is getting ready to be set free. Don’t fear the enemy and give up.
Stop and pray this through.
God will not take us out of a place if He does not have a plan and a place to lead us into.
He is our Deliverer!
Amen.
