Encouragement
What will you do when all the escape routes are sealed.
Exodus 14:9-15
[9] But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
[10] And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
[11] And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
[12] Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
[13] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
[14] The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
[15] And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
In the above account life looked to be at its peak worse, the hearts of the Israelites melted to the highest degree, and their heart filled with anger and wrath against Moses. Their hope was already evaporated.
Pharaoh’s army was swiftly pursuing them, water was in front. There were no escapes.
Have you ever imagined of two strong walls coming to meet while you are at the center. That’s was the situation in which the Israelites were.
Time to time life will treat us the same way. Situations become worse until we do not know what to do next.
The bible says ‘The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” Again it says the battle is not ours but LORD’S.
We should never give up, God is on watch, even if pharaoh and sea encloses us let us rest assured, The LORD shall fight for us.
Amen.
