Escape from the Red Sea

Escape from the Red Sea 14: 10 - 20 20 As the pharaoh approached, the Israelites turned over and the Egyptians marched towards them. The Israelites exclaimed to the LORD with great fear. 11 They said to Moses, "There is no grave in Egypt, you took us to the wilderness and brought us out of Egypt.12 This is what we said in Egypt It is not that. "Let's serve the Egyptians. "We serve the Egyptians more than the wilderness.13 But Moses said to the people," Do not be afraid, be firm, look at the salvation the Lord will accomplish for you today Please give me.

The Israelites hurried away from Egypt, but only in front of the Pharaoh, he hardened his heart again and hurried to the Red Sea. Then Moses separated the Red Sea so that they could escape from Pharaoh. After everyone successfully crossed the river, the Lord broke the Egyptian reading forces without dividing the water. When Moses came back from the Ten Commandments, he saw that his people worshiped the golden calf and was very angry, so he threw the pill to the ground and broke. He punishes people by allowing them to burn gold calves, crushing them into powder, sprinkling them on water, and drinking them. Then he has to make a new tablet according to the instructions of the Lord.

Imagine the situation. At that time the Egyptian army was the most powerful army in the world, and they were chasing them. One in the desert, the other in the mountains, the Israeli children are in the Red Sea. I can not escape. But God gave them magical salvation. God intervened by separating the sea, and Israelis were allowed to cross. The Red Sea experience at Moses has many lessons of spiritual and practical experience. The first application point is that all trips to leadership are actually faith travels and sometimes leaders need to continue traveling and refuse to concede even if everything is lost. People are afraid, but Moses encourages them as leaders and they say they should rethink their salvation firmly. Moses first believed that vision, but more importantly, I believed in God who approved it.

Moses and the Israelites have found trouble. They were trapped in the Red Sea, chasing pharaohs were behind them, and they seemed to have been unable to escape. They witnessed the power of God through the Egyptian catastrophe and in this case it is still not enough to believe that God helped them. We can learn something from their situation. God's plan has a purpose. In Exodus 14: 4 the Bible states that God is planning to lock Israelites into the sea. He knows the heart of Pharaoh and knows that Egyptians pursue them. Then explain this objective, "I respect the Pharaoh and all his troops, and their Egyptians may know I am God." You have a problem Believe in God when you are. Just as we do not understand why Abraham wanted to sacrifice her son, we might not understand at that point. But God's plan is what he knows, which is good for those who love him (Romans 8: 28).
