Most of us know the story of Moses and The Red Sea.The children of Israel found themselves trapped between the water and the pursuing Egyptian army that was bent on their destruction and bondage. But how many times do we forget that they didn't wander into that position but were specifically led there by God. God told them to go where they would be pressed on all sides. And let us not forget that their deliverance was not an instant thing.
If you're like me, when you think of this story you often see Moses stretch out his staff, the waters part and the people start through the wall of water. But it didn't happen like that. Moses did his thing with the staff, in obedience, and then the wind blew the water apart overnight. It wasn't until the next day that the waters were parted and the land between was a dry path.
Abba, help me to realize that when I am guided by You I will be led to places and situations that look hopeless so that my deliverance may bear witness of You. Let me also remember that that deliverance may not be as quick or instant as I would like but will always be on time. Amen.
Then the Lord spoke to Moses: “Tell the Israelites to turn back and camp in front of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; you must camp in front of Baal-zephon, facing it by the sea. Pharaoh will say of the Israelites: They are wandering around the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in. I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he will pursue them. Then I will receive glory by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.” So the Israelites did this.
Exodus 14: 1-4
