Anytime God is involved..

Of a truth, everytime d Almighty God steps in, d outcome is predictable. Here I am studying once again, d book of Exo 14....it must have been a time of fear & trepidation for d israelites. they were indeed stuck
b/w d red sea & Pharaoh's merciless army

There was obviously no way of escape. The predictable end of that situation was either death for the Israelites or a journey back into slavery. Unknown to anyone at that time, God was setting the stage up to display His awesomeness & power again. Pharaoh must have felt real good

Having the advantage, but, he could only see as "far" as his eyes could see.
He thought to himself, "I have closed them in...
Exo 14:3 "Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are lost; they're confused. The wilderness has closed in on them.'
And here was God laughing there in heaven

Seeing how a mere man was acting like the aloha & omega.
The pressure was now in Moses to do something...only God knows what was going thru Moses' mind at that time, & while he was waiting in God, he heard God speaking again in

"don't wait in Me anymore, Move.. the deed is done."
Exodus 14:13 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you're never going to see them again.
What reassuring words

Exodus 14:15 God said to Moses: "Why cry out to me? Speak to d Israelites. Order them to get moving.
Exodus 14:17 "Meanwhile I'll make sure d Egyptians keep up their stubborn chase -I'll use Pharaoh & his entire army, his chariots & horsemen. It was a setup & pharaoh knew it not.

God sure have many ways to display His glory. Exodus 14:18 to put my Glory on display so that the Egyptians will realize that I am God."
Did you also notice that God drew a line between the Israelites & Pharaoh's army?
It was a line neither could cross.

The hunter could not cross over and neither could the hunted.
Exodus 14:20 The Cloud was now between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. The Cloud enshrouded one camp in darkness and flooded the other with light. The two camps didn't come near each other all night.

It wasn't just a line, while one was enjoying light, the other was experiencing darkness.
Did you also observe that, during the crossing of the red sea, both the pursuer & the pursued walked on different grounds?

While, the seabed became dry ground to the Israelites, it became very muddy for the Egyptians. Exo 14:22 The Israelites walked through d sea on dry ground with d waters a wall to the right & to d left.
Exo 14:25 He clogged d wheels of their chariots; they were stuck in the mud.

But, d Egyptians realized this a little 2 late.
They said, "Run from Israel! God is fighting on their side & against Egypt!" That was just d beginning of their woes & miscalculation. God wasn't done with them yet.There are grave consequences when u touch d apple of God's eyes

Exodus 14:24 It was now the morning watch. God looked down from the Pillar of Fire & Cloud on d Egyptian army & threw them into a panic. Now, I'm trying to imagine what it looked like when God caused panic amongst them. Terrible I guess.

Exodus 14:28 The waters returned, drowning the chariots and riders of Pharaoh's army that had chased after Israel into the sea. Not one of them survived. Glory to God for always making a way of escape for His chosen.

Isaiah 43:2b MSG
When u're in over ur head,I'll b there with u.When u're in rough waters,u will not go down.When u're b/w a rock & a hard place,it won't be a dead end
You will nt experience any dead-End ths yr in Jesus name
