Exodus
14 – Whose Plan Is This?
No
matter what the enemy plans to do to you, God has already taken care of it and
will tell you what to do. The pillar that
brought light to Israel brought darkness to the enemy. The people of the world are walking in
darkness, but God’s people have “the light of life” John 8:12.
The
host of Egypt moves against the children of Israel with six hundred chariots.
The Red Sea is ahead of the Israelites, and the hosts of Egypt are behind them.
These poor defenseless people are caught between the Devil and the deep blue
sea.
The
Israelites, when they were in the land of Egypt, cried out for
deliverance. God provided the
opportunity for them to leave; but the minute they were in danger, they wanted
to return to Egypt. Unless God moves on their behalf, they are doomed. And you and I could never be redeemed unless
God did it. Redemption is the work of
the Lord. The Lord will work on behalf of His people; all they have to do is
accept, repent and be baptized, and receive His salvation. They are to stand still, and God will do the
work.
Their
faith will be evidenced in whether they will go forward. The thing that must be
faced here is that a miracle took place.
You either accept it or you do not.
God, by a miracle, opened the sea and the Israelites walked through it
on dry ground. Israel crossed safely to the other side of the Red Sea, and
Pharaoh and his army perished in the waters of that sea, and the Egyptians left
in the land will know that the God of Israelites is the Lord. He worked through
the pillar of fire and the cloud, which represents the Holy Spirit. As a child of God, we are led by the Spirit
of God.
At
the beginning of their wilderness march they saw the power of God when He
delivered them by the blood out of Egypt.
Now at the Red Sea He demonstrates His power again by taking them safely
across the sea and by destroying the Egyptians pursuing them. God delivers His children by power.
