After leaving Egypt, leading the Jews, Moses arrives before the Red Sea. Look back and see Pharaoh's furious bloodthirsty soldiers. From the sides, mountains. And before him, only the waters of the sea. Even with such intimacy, Moses was afraid.
In Exodus chapter 14, verse16, the counsel of God is remarkable in this hour of such pressure upon the people and Moses: "When you stand before the Red Sea, you will raise up the staff and spread it over the sea. The water will be divided, and the Israelites will be able to pass through dry land through the sea. "
It is only the people who have gone through moments of extreme difficulty, when we think of giving up, that they can understand how precious it is to have enough faith to continue the journey.
This celebrated passage reveals that we need to do our part for the miracle to become reality before our eyes. And Jesus Christ goes into action to fulfill his part. Bringing it to the spirit world, the Red Sea is the difficulty that suddenly appears.
It only varies the place, but these waters appear in the way of the Christian. In financial life is when we began to make countless calculations for the payment of debts without leaving the checking account in the red. Managing the home is difficult. Children need food, shoes, clothes, and of course, depending on their age, school supplies, and even college pay.
