Wilderness or Wonderland?
Exodus 14:13-14 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord , which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. This morning God led me to the story of the Israelites and their journey across the Red Sea. It still amazes me that every time I read something I have read many times before, I can still learn something new. In Exodus 14, God places the Israelites in an area where they appeared to be trapped. God hardens the heart of Pharaoh and he sends out his army after them. We all know what happens from here, Moses, led by God, stretches out his hand and parts the sea so the Israelites can cross on dry land. Then God instructs Moses to once again stretch out his hand so the sea returns and drowns the Egyptian army. We all have had our wilderness experiences....
