 How would they escape? Camped by the sea, the children of Israel were pursued by Pharaoh and his troops. Enemies on one side, a barrier of water on another. It seemed as though there was no way out. The people began to fret and even complained that they were freed from Pharaoh's dominion in the first place. But this was all according to God's plan. He wanted the Egyptians to pursue Israel so that he could display his glory. God instructed Moses to raise his staff. What happened next is a now-iconic miracle. When the Red Sea saw you, oh God, its waters looked and trembled. The sea quaked to its very depths. Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters. A pathway no one knew was there. When you're pressed by a seemingly impossible situation, remember that God saw it coming. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. He sees a path where nobody knew there was one.
