Overtaken by Fear Exodus 14:10-14
v.12b "For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness."
When godly situations look tough, don't look for a worldly answer.The Lord will fight for you; you
need only be still. v.14
Psalms 46:10a Be still, and know that I am God
The Long Road to Freedom
Led to Freedom by God Exod. 13:17-22
Crossing the Sea Exod. 13:17-22
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, "If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt." 18 So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt armed for battle.
Note 1 v.17 - God does NOT necessarily lead His people to freedom through the shortest road for if He did (when they faced a battle) they might change their minds and return to their enslavement. A long road ensures commitment to freedom.
What victory/freedom are you allowing God to work out in your life right now? It may be that He has you on the longer path to ensure the sustained victory. In your patience, ye possess your souls.
21 By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.
Note 2 v.21-22 God promises never to leave or forsake His people.
Trust God!

The Lord led me to the scriptural reference that validates Bishop Blackwell's claim: Habakkuk 2:3 (New International Version) says "For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

According to scripture, revelation (or truth) waits for the (1) appointed time (but is certainly coming, (2) speaks of the end, and (3) will NOT prove false. While nonsense and falsehoods (lies) speeds across the nations, the truth is tying its shoes.
Thanks Bishop Blackwell for your insight!
Is Moses pulling our leg?
In this week's Sunday school lesson "Accepting Responsibility," Moses responds to the Lord that he is not eloquent in speech (Ex. 4.10) therefore the Lord should consider someone else to deliver Israel from the Egyptians.
Is Moses pulling our leg since Acts 7:22 says that Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words...? Hmmm?
Or could it be that Moses was modest since Numbers 12:3 tells us that the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth?
Anyway this week Sunday School Lesson is going to be good.
Let me know what you think?
Read Exodus: 4:1-31
