Exodus 14 contains the account of the children of Israel's delivery from the oncoming Egyptians by way of the Red Sea. The Red Sea was the obstacle that was preventing them from getting to the promised land and receiving the blessings that the Lord had in store for them. We also meet obstacles that prevent us, challenges if you will, that are in the way of our receiving great blessings. Interesting to note that the Lord has all power. He could have easily taken away the sea; He could have flew them over the sea; He could have sent them a boat or built a bridge...With all at His hands; however, He chose to give them a way through the Red Sea.

That's awesome! It was a total AH HA! moment for me! Of course we know the Lord gives us trials, and he won't take them away, but he of course will always help us and give us a way THROUGH them, what a great visual representation of this principle!!!
I have never ever thought of the red sea that way.....That makes so much sense.
I love that thought. I've long thought that it is better to get through our trials rather than over or around them. Only then do we truly experience them and learn from them, and therefore receive the wisdom and blessings as a result. If we're always bailed out, where will we end up?
Where will we end up, you ask, eh Vicky? I think we'll end up buried under the sea with the egyptians!! Yikes! SOmeplace I rather wouldn't be!
