I was watching the first part of the History channel’s miniseries, “The Bible” a few weeks ago and the part that stuck in my mind the most was when the Israelites were standing at the Red Sea with the Egyptians about to overtake them Moses was wondering what to do when God said;
" As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land" Exodus 14:16
As the people stood there and grumbled at Moses, questioning if this was the right thing to do to. God basically was saying; "I have provided you with the tools (his staff) now go forth and use them."
I feel the same way as I have days when I question whether or not I am equipped for the world race. This is an exciting adventure full of unknowns, will the excitement where off? God is preparing me for what is to come, my own, “Red Sea Experience” What is your Red Sea? I know that as look at where God has had me the last few years that He has been preparing me. God has equipped me with tools that I probably won't realize I have until I'm in the situation to use them. Now I'm going to go forth and use them.
"God, I know that you had the power to part the Red Sea, and that you still have that same power. It was scary for Moses and the people of Israel to step out into that fast-moving water. But, by faith, they obeyed and you blessed. When I face my "Red Seas" of life that look scary, that make me feel helpless or uncertain, please give me the courage and faith to step out and follow you. Help me to keep moving through the doors of opportunities you provide; through the difficult decisions and circumstances of life, because I know you are here with me, just like you were with Moses at the Red Sea. May you get the glory for all that is accomplished. In Jesus' name. Amen."
