#Anytime God is involved..the outcome is predictable. Part 1

Of a truth, everytime the Almighty God steps in, the outcome is predictable.

Here I am studying once again, the book of Exodus 14....

it must have been a time of fear & trepidation for the israelites...

they were indeed stuck between the red sea & Pharaoh's merciless army who obviously had the advantage, however, Pharaoh could only see as "far" as his eyes could see.

He thought to himself, "I have closed them in...
Exodus 14:3 MSG
"Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are lost;

they're confused. The wilderness has closed in on them.'

And here was God laughing in heaven, seeing how a mere man was acting like the alpha & omega.

The pressure was now on Moses to do something...only God knows what was going through Moses' mind at that time, & while he was

waiting on God, he heard God speaking again, "don't wait on 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 the Israelites. Order them to get moving.
Exodus 14:17 "Meanwhile I'll make sure the 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 has many ways to display His glory. Exodus 14:18 to put my Glory on display so that d Egyptians will realize that I am God."

Did you also notice that God drew a line between d 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 the sea on dry ground with the waters a wall to the right & to the left.
Exo 14:25 He clogged d wheels of their chariots; they were stuck in the mud.

The Egyptians realized this a little two 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 the 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. They all perished in the Red sea.

Glory to God for always making a way of escape for His chosen.

Isaiah 43:2b MSG
When you're in over your head, I'll be there

with you. When you're in rough waters, you will not go down. When you're between a rock & a hard place, it won't be a dead end

You will not experience any dead-End this year in Jesus name.
