A "Red Sea" Season of life

Exodus 14:14 (NKJV) "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

Many times the things that seem to chase us, purse us, breathe heavy after us, are the very things that Father God has already planned ahead to destroy. It is at the right time, that we see the salvation of the Lord. The test for each of us is will we begin to complain, and want to go back to the old ways of doing things, and the previous chains that held us captive? Or will we choose to walk where no one has ever walked before? 

Exodus 14: 21-29 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land,and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.  And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”  And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.  Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.  But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

I do not remember reading this in verse 25,  "And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty;" 

When I read this the Lord spoke to me and said, "When the going gets difficult ask yourself which side of the Red Sea are you on? For I am the way, the truth and the light. I make a way in the wilderness. I make the crooked ways straight..."

Scriptures I tucked within my heart began to flow like a river out of me. I saw that what the enemy of my life was riding on was doubt and unbelief. As soon as faith came the enemies wheels sank, and the rider was drown in the sea.

Whatever pursues you today I encourage you to forge ahead. Refuse to go back to your former ways. Go where no one has ever gone before, for the Lord your God goes before you.
