Sabbath: Through the Red Sea — 2 Comments

  1. “The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace’ (Exodus 14:14, NKJV).

    The dramatic story of the Exodus has some of the most comforting and reassuring passages in the Bible. The above text says that God will fight our battles and gives us peace. How many battles are we engaged in right now? How many battles do we fight in this life? How much sadness, sorrow, pain, and distress do we suffer while engaged in our battles? Dear Jesus, please come and fight my battles and give me peace. Amen.

    May all those who are right now engaged in any battle (addiction, relationship, spiritual, legal, workplace, sickness, debts, emotional, immigration, joblessness, and any other) receive God’s victory and His peace that surpasses all understanding. Amen

    “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7,NLT).

  2. Exodus 14, involves a scene where Israel faces one of its greatest tests of their faith in God. Trapped between Pharaoh’s approaching army and the Red Sea, the people panicked and longed to return to slavery in Egypt. At this point the Israelites were poorly trained, unequipped and not ready for battle, they see no way out. But in the midst of their fear, God tells Moses an ordinary man with extraordinary trust to speak words of courage: “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today” (Exodus 14:13, NKJV). God’s power is not limited by human weakness. He often chooses those who feel inadequate to reveal His strength and faithfulness.

    When Moses cries out to God, the Lord responds, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward” (Exodus 14:15, NKJV). God had already made His will clear it was time to act. Sometimes we, too, stay stuck in prayer when God is calling us to move in faith. It is in taking that first step forward, even when we don’t see the full picture, that we witness God’s deliverance. We must learn to combine prayer with action, faith with obedience, so that we can truly experience the miraculous ways God leads His people.
