In wonder (2)

Exodus 14:22 And the people of Israel went in the midst of the sea in the dry place. The water was a wall for them on their right and left hand.

Have you ever seen a wall of water? No of course not. That does not exist. Water flows and is liquid, which cannot stand upright and also form a wall? Yet it happened when the people of Israel fled from Egypt and the people were sealed between the desert and the water while Pharaoh came behind them. A wonderful story in which God shows His powerful hand. He has all the power and can even make a wall of water.

God commanded Moses to stretch his staff over the water and break the sea. There was absolutely no doubt with God and therefore not with Moses. God knew that if Moses would extend his staff, that He would send the wind to dry it, and that He would put the water as a wall along the path. God has that power, He created everything and He can also make such an adjustment in His creation that it changes structure. As the water can stand upright like a wall, it is a little change for God.

That God stood and stands on the side of Israel. When they were in trouble, He did not let them down. They began to shame on Moses and to cry, because they were afraid of course. And yet God stood on their side, making sure that the Egyptians could not come closer and He helped them through the sea. But that God is also on our side, He is there for you and me too. Not because we are so good, not because our faith is so strong, but because He wants to be our God. When you believe in the Being Son as your Savior and Savior, this God that has driven the sea and made a path, is even your God!

Thus we may wonder about the power of our God! He can do everything and wants to give us everything. Not that it always goes as we would like, but with Him on your side there is always a path. For God also made paths in invisible things, in pain and sorrow, in psychological problems, in deprivation, in sins we cannot stop with, with all we can get into, God can make a way. And then he sets up walls that protect us.

Then focus on God, focus your life on Him, marvel at His omnipotence and make you fulfill by His greatness!
