Lesson
from page /!
straw" incident. Moses went
back to God (in prayer) to
get clarity. God told him to
go back to Pharaoh and say;
"Let My People Go." God
even went so far as to tell
His messenger how the peo
ple were to leave Egypt. God
kept His Promises to Moses.
The ten plagues came (chap
ters 7-11) forcing the leader
to free the Israelite people.
They celebrated the first
Passover in chapter 12, dur
ing that last plague. Some
two million people were led
out of bondage headed
toward the Red Sea and their
Promised Land (Canaan).
They carried all that they
had, for there was no turning
back (!!!). They were guided
by a pillar of cloud by day
and a pillar of fire at night .
Lesson: Moving two
million people is no easy
task nor is it very fast. God
also tells Moses exactly
where to camp. Pharaoh has
a change of heart and
decides to retrieve his work
force. Rounding up all of his
chariots, horsemen, and
troops they head out after
them. Needless to say, when
the Israelites see the
approaching Egyptians they
turn to Moses. He attempts
to calm their fears by
encouraging them to watch
God's deliverance as they
stand still. They're in the
desert with mountains on
both sides facing the Red
Sea with the Egyptians at
their backs. Things appear
grave as they cry out to
Moses. God wants to know
why, since He's given them
all that they need. His
response seems a bit harsh
but God wants them to have
faith in His mighty power.
He's kept His Promises
before. The instructions to
Moses are strange yet very
simple: "Raise ypur staff
and stretch out your hand."
Even Moses is beginning to
realize and appreciate God's
power. The sea opens up!!
The other amazing phenom
ena is the pillar of cloud
now stands between the
Israelites and the Egyptians.
The sea bed is dry as they
cross over all night long
while the enemies don't
have a clue. Once they real
ize what is taking place, they
are in hot pursuit. God stirs
confusion amongst the
Egyptians as the wheels of
the chariots come off. The
pursuers get scared as the
God of the Israelites gives
the next set of instructions.
As daybreak comes, the sea
walls collapse and Pharaoh's
army is drowned! Now
God's Chosen People wit
nessed their deliverance and
begin to fear (revere) the
Lord (14:31).
Application: The Lord
God Almighty said it, and it
is so! What more can you
ask for? The deliverance is.
joyous, but the people are
kicking and screaming the
whole time! Guess what? It
doesn't stop there. God
"with His Good Self (Mrs.
Elizabeth Young) continues
to deliver us from our
pharaohs in the midst of our
doubts, complaints and
fears, What did they do to
contribute to their freedom?
As God delivers them from
the enemy, they stood still.
This is not literal.
Preparations were made;
they followed Moses'
instruction for the Passover.
When the freedom decree is
issued, they packed their
belongings to head out of
bondage. God doesn't advo
cate sitting on a stump! At
some point we are/were cap
tive to some physical, emo
tional. financial or spiritual
bondage. God calls us out of
all of them, delivering us
over and over. The next time
trouble of any kind comes in
your life. Remember that
God delivers. Not only
remember His past deeds,
but recognize His eternal
power and live your faith.
Stop complaining and don-'t
panic. You know Who is in
charge!!
