Exodus 14 and on

Sisters and Brothers,

After studying the passover last week, we are continue on the story of Exodus.

Again, we see the power of Lord or God. At one hand, he made Pharaoh obstinate and had him sent his soldiers to pursue Israelites. On the other hand, he casted the dark clouds to hinder the Egyptians pursue and protected his people Israelites.

Chapter 14 is one of the most dramatic story that Moses opened up the water and let Israelites marching across the sea. Before God uses Moses to open the sea, people were untruest and regret following Moses. The reaction is kind of understandable for situation like this. As Human are weak and there is no strength without God. We also see dark side of human being.

In the old Testament, God uses his power to perform miracle and shows his people he is the true God. I sometimes wonder why God is no longer showing his power and lead his people? I may never know and there may never be an answer. Our earthy life is so short and our view is so narrow, we can not see the plan and fact God had done for us. Miracles are probably happening every day but we just aren't part of them. Even we were, we may never noticed.

Let's pray to the Lord our God to give us wisdom and open our eyes. As God had told us: "Blessed are those who have not see and have believed".

in Christ,
Dan
