Exodus 14: 13 And Moses answered, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you TODAY...The Egyptians you see today you will NEVER see again.
Hard pressed against the sea on one side and the Egyptians on the other, the Israelites were gripped with fear. They proclaimed It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert. My memory is correct in saying that they were more than servants. They were SLAVES. They had seen the miracles of God and still couldn't believe that he would deliver them from their slave master.
They would rather return to what they knew than to face the unknown. They were confused and afraid. Moses declared, "The Lord will fight for you..you need only to be still. AND then Moses began to cry out to God too. What? Was Moses afraid too? I think he was.
God asked Moses, "WHY are you crying out, what do you have in your hand."
Just like the Israelites you too are facing Egyptians (familiar slave masters). You too may be hard pressed between your past and your future. Fear of the unknown has caused you to desire to return to the old ways of doing things. God doesn't want you to trust in your own abilities to deliver yourself or to be so overcome with fear that you would rather be a slave than to experience God's tremendous blessings for you.
God is telling you TODAY that the Egyptians you see today (the things that once oppressed you) you will never see again! Shout if you Love Jesus...
God says to be still, don't move, don't run, don't cry, don't try to figure it out. There is only one way out of your past and YES my love it is through the sea, where the residue from your past will be washed away. There is nothing that you can do about your past. It will come after you. It will try to remind you of your servanthood. It will try to convince you to come back.
The Battle belongs to God. He is ready to show his Glory in your life and he needs you to be still. Deliverance is coming today...stretch out your hand for it is the faith of God's previous experiences with you that will cause the path before you to split wide open.
