GOD OPENS THE IMPOSSIBLE - MOSES' STORY


GOD OPENS THE IMPOSSIBLE - MOSES' STORY

God parted the Red Sea for Moses and the Israelites to cross over to the promised land but He closed the Red Sea on the Egyptian army. Let us pray for God to open the way for our family, business and ministry. God can make a way when there is no way.

Exodus 14:29 "But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left".

Imagine the Egyptian army with the finest soldiers, weapons, horses and chariots pursuing a slow moving crowd of three million Israelites with families, children and the elderly. It would not be a contest: the army of Egyptians would wipe out and destroy the Israelites in no time. However, God had an answer for the Israelites in spite of the impending danger of the pursuing Egyptian army. God parted the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to cross over safely to dry ground, and closed the Red Sea to destroy the pursuing Egyptian army. God always has a plan; a way and a door for His people when there seem to be no way.

There are times when it seems everything is conspiring against us and doors are closing shut on us. We don't need to be in despair because God always provides hope and opportunity for us. We need to fix our eyes on God during the crisis rather than fixing our eyes on the crisis. We can magnify our crisis by dwelling on it all the time. Moses looked to God during the crisis and God provided a way out. We need to look to God for a way through, or out of, our situation. God is ever ready to help us in times of crisis so that we can experience more of His love, wisdom and power. God wants to glorify His name in the midst of our trouble. After the parting of the Red Sea, the fear of God spread throughout the land of Canaan because they heard of the mighty deliverance of the Israelite people.

The God of Hope will always provide hope to His people in times of crisis.
