Ps. 77:19 “Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters—a pathway no one knew was there."
Have you ever heard of a road that led through the sea? Sounds ridiculous, right? Not to God. In fact, sometimes God—on purpose—leads us straight to an obstacle. We’re following Christ, everything’s going great, then—Bam! Halt! Stop! You look around and you think, “Oh no, I must have missed God. I did this. I got myself into this mess—where did I go wrong?”
The truth is you’re right where you’re supposed to be.
The danger when you come to a life roadblock is to start doubting God. Remember the Israelites? God led them straight out of Egypt to the Red Sea! How could they possibly get across? Even though they had just witnessed all the mighty miracles back in Egypt, their first reaction was to question.
“Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness?...Why did you make us leave?...Our Egyptian slavery was far better…”
Moses answers their attacks with, “Don’t be afraid.”
Fear and doubt must go if we are going to make it through our Red Sea moments.
You see, God leads us to “Red Seas” in our life so that He can get the glory. But instead of sticking with the plan, we want to quit and stay in our safe zone. It’s so tempting to remain status quo! Some even begin to miss their old life—as slaves to sin!
But look what Moses says next, “Just stand where you are and watch the Lord rescue you.”
Don’t turn back—just stand. Hold the ground you’ve already gained and believe God that He
is able
to take
you through.
He has a pathway that no one knows is there.
