Never to be seen again

Moses and the Red Sea, according to an American poll, is the most popular Bible story of all time. The picture of Moses lifting his hands and the water miraculously parting in The Ten Commandments still burns in my mind. It is a fantastical story with drama, villains, extraordinary feats, and superheros, the biggest hero being Yahweh Himself.

The huge miracle of the parting of the Red Sea is that not only did the children of Israel walk through on dry ground unharmed, but the Egyptians followed them through only to have the sea collapse on top of them. The entire army was drowned. Those who had kept the Israelites in slavery and bondage for 400 years completely disappeared in one moment, never to be seen again.

Exodus 14:13  But Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again.

What is holding you back? Excuses? Depression? Sickness? Financial lack? Inability? Poor thought life? Stand still. Don’t be afraid. Take a good look at what has held you captive, because you will never see it again. The horse and rider have been thrown into the sea. You are free to walk into your dreams.

Take courage. Believe it. Your destiny awaits. Whatever has kept you down will never bother you again.

Be amazing.
