MIGHTY WARRIOR
Exodus 14: 21-31
As days roll into days weeks, and weeks into months, it is worth it to look back and acknowledge God for where He has brought us. Above all, God is worthy of all praise for where He is taking us. He is a faithful God and He has a good plan for His children. He once said to the children of Israel while in captivity, “ For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:10-11) What the Lord has said to one stands for all. He is not a partial God, but a faithful God. Is He taking you through a passage of deliverance or breakthrough, and it seems like there is no end in sight? Do not pay attention to what is on ground, but He who is above. Once in the passage of deliverance after the bondage of over four hundred years, God made a passage of escape for the children of Israel, in the middle of Red Sea. A passage in the middle of the sea is nothing, but the power of God and it’s a doubtless passage of deliverance. “So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. ” (Exodus 14:22) Have you entered into a kind of salvation passage like that of the Red Sea where dry ground took the place of water? One will think in this kind of safe passage, the enemy would give up and turn back. This was not the case for the children of Israel and the same can possibly happen to anyone. The Egyptians did not stopped in their pursuit, “And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. ” (Exodus 14:23) Do not lose focus. When you look back and see that your Egyptians are still charging and chasing, He will not leave you or forsake you. The fact that He has brought you this far is evidence that He wants to see you get through for His name to be glorified. Ask for your morning watch to come quickly because when it came for the children of Israel the pursuit that the Egyptians put up was permanently terminated. Exodus 14:24-25, “Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.” ” God will not stop fighting our battle if we do not stop trusting Him.
