CAUGHT BETWEEN AN ARMY AND AN OCEAN

"By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned." Hebrews 11:29

Remember that the Israelites, who were humanly speaking defenseless, were being pursued by the Egyptian army.Their backs were up against an wall. I guess you could say they were caught between an army and an ocean. God made a way through the waters. It was a way that the Egyptians could not go. 

Sometimes God puts us in a place where we seemingly have no place to go. There is an enemy on one side and something we'll drown in on the other. In Psalm 23:4 David says,
"Even though I walk through the valley of death,     I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." 
So, if you feel caught between an army and an ocean, have faith in God. He will make a way. It may be away that someone who is not a Christian can understand. It may be a way we can not conceive. I am sure no Israelite was saying, "Just cut through the Red Sea Moses!" The Red Sea and the Egyptian army both spelled death for the Israelites. But, God turned death into life. 

Father, help us to call upon you. Make a way. Praise be to you in us today!
