Imagine the joy the Israelites must have felt as they left Egypt, their wonder at seeing God’s Presence go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night.

Imagine their horror when they saw Pharaoh’s army marching toward them. With the Red Sea in front, and Pharaoh’s forces behind, there seemed to be no way out.

I can’t blame them for being scared.

When we come to the “Red Seas” in our lives, it can be easy to react like the ancient Israelites. When stuck between a rock and a hard place, we tend to ask, “what am I going to do?” and forget that God is in control.

But before the problem even arose, He had a solution.

We may not always understand why we have problems, but each new trial is an opportunity to trust God more and let Him work in and through us for good. That is why we praise Him!

The next time you face a sea of problems with an army of worries behind you, remember that God is still in the business of splitting seas. Trust His leading presence to get you through whatever challenges you’re facing today, and you’ll come out singing His praises on the other side.
