As the Israelites camped near the Red Sea, the stakes had never been higher. They had escaped their brutal captors only to find themselves vulnerable in the wilderness with the Egyptians in pursuit. Pastor Chuck Swindoll points out that God deliberately led the Israelites into an impossible situation in Exodus 14 —being surrounded with no way out. Yet, that was exactly how God would ultimately protect them and work a colossal miracle. Maybe it’s your inclination to panic when you’re in trouble. Listen in and discern how God often moves outside of our understanding!

How unlikely it must have seemed when God promised Moses that the Israelites would not only exit Egypt but would walk away with gifts of silver and gold.

God is still interested in making history with those who will follow His leading, regardless of how strange His plan may seem!
