Man, I love it in Scripture when God goes off. I mean it's like God shows up and read the riot act.
I was cruising in Exodus last night and listening to a message at the same time when I came to a place that just jumped off the page at me.
Exodus 14:13- But Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid. Just stand where you are and watch the LORD rescue you. The Egyptians that you see today will never be seen again."
God put all of this trap together. Had Israel march to this particular location with the Red Sea at their backs and no way out. He lured the Egyptian army, blinded by their pride and anger, to chase after the Israelites. Don't you know that when Pharaoh saw the location the Israelites were camped in, he thought to himself, "Hmmmm....this God of the Hebrews is no tactician when it comes to military campaigns."
A rag tag bunch of ex-slaves against the military might of Egypt.
On the surface it looks like a no brainer.
The Egyptian army will be home before daybreak with the slaves in tow, just in time for biscuits and gravy.
As the Egyptians drew closer and closer, Moses stands, stirred by God, and says,"Hey guys...pay attention. This army you see today.....you will never see again."
God moved on their behalf.
Sometimes God leads us to places that seem dangerous to our spiritual health and well being. He does so that he can manifest His glory and power against the forces of darkness. It is a battle and we are a part of it.
Where does God have you today?
Does it seem like the impossible place?
Does it seem like God has deserted you and left you to be at the mercy of the enemy?
Well, He hasn't.
Stand still and see the salvation of God.
The enemy you see today............
you will see no more.
Cool, huh?
You go God!
God on you.......
