Thinking about a million Israelis approaching the Red Sea. They were heading home to the land of their fathers. They had to be excited. Kids saying, “When are we going to be there?”
A little problem. Pharaoh on their tail. The people’s excitement turned into a great fear when they saw what was coming. They accused GOD of bringing them into the desert to die.
Ahead uncrossable water. No place to flee, up or down the coast. A raging army rapidly approaching.
“And Moses said to the people, ‘Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today.’ ”
They crossed the Red Sea. The Pharaoh and his army drown. And the people of Israel made it through that lesson. Ahead would come many more lessons, costly lessons.
Trust rides a steep learning curve.
