神常常以奇妙的方式介入在人的绝境中，将看似不可能的局面化为拯救我们的奇迹。
1.敌军逼近的威胁（v1-9）
法老心存愤恨而不肯放走百姓，于是又急忙派遣大军紧追他们。以色列人所面对的是身后怒气冲天的埃及军队，前方则是看似无尽的红海。这种两难的处境使人心生绝望。
2. 以色列人的绝望（v10-12）
在面对绝境时，百姓的心态迅速转向恐慌和绝望。即使在神的拯救计划中，百姓也会因眼前的困境而丧失信心。因此，在面对困境时，我们可能会心生绝望，甚至忘记神曾经在历史中如何拯救祂的百姓。
3. 神的应许与带领（v13-14）
摩西坚定地站在百姓面前，宣布神的带领和拯救。神的应许不仅给了他们希望，更带出祂大能的拯救计划。神的应许告诉我们，即使在最黑暗的时刻，只要我们转向神，祂必为我们开出一条出路。
1. 摩西顺服，救恩显明（v15-21）
耶和华吩咐摩西带以色列人往前走并要他向海举杖，使水分开。而摩西也没有退缩，而是坚定地举起手中的杖，顺服神的指示。摩西的顺服是一种信心的表现。
信心的突破往往始于一次简单的顺服，只要我们肯迈出那一步，神便必定会为我们预备道路。
2. 海底行走，水成墙垣（v22）
当红海分开后，以色列人便在干地上行走。海底行走象征着人在信心的道路上，必须跨出那一步，无论前路多么险阻，只要信靠神，神必为我们筑起坚固的保障。
1. 敌军的混乱（v23-25）
埃及人所依靠的战车成为令他们难以行走的拖累。再加上耶和华使埃及的军兵混乱，使他们丧胆而要逃跑。
2. 得救的见证（v26-29）
以色列人亲眼目睹了红海奇迹和埃及军队的覆灭，他们的心中充满感恩与敬畏。经历了这一切之后，百姓不仅得到了拯救，更成为神大能见证的活见证者，这段奇迹将永远铭刻在他们心中，并可以将这故事传扬出去，让后代也能认识那位拯救者。
3. 敬畏信服神（v30-31）
以色列人经历了这次拯救，彻底被神的大能所震撼，心中充满了感恩和赞美。今天，我们也应当在自己的生命中，常常怀着敬畏的心，时刻记住神在我们生命中的拯救与恩典。
在绝境中，神必为祂的百姓预备出路！在信心中，我们能经历那突破性的拯救！
在绝境中，神必为祂的百姓预备出路！在信心中，我们能经历那突破性的拯救！
Exodus 14
The Miracle at the Red Sea

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Stella
God often intervenes in miraculous ways during our most desperate moments, turning seemingly impossible situations into opportunities for His deliverance.
1.The Threat of the Approaching Enemy (v1-9)
Pharaoh, filled with resentment, refused to let the Israelites go and hastily sent his army to pursue them. The Israelites found themselves trapped between the raging Egyptian army behind them and the seemingly endless Red Sea ahead. This dire situation filled their hearts with despair.
2.The Despair of the Israelites (v10-12)
Faced with such a hopeless situation, the people quickly turned to panic and despair. Even in the midst of God‘s plan of deliverance, the Israelites lost faith because of the immediate danger. Similarly, in our own trials, we may feel overwhelmed and forget how God has delivered His people in the past.
3. God‘s Promise and Guidance (v13-14)
Moses stood firm before the people and declared God‘s guidance and deliverance. God’s promise not only gave them hope but also revealed His mighty plan of salvation. His assurance reminds us that even in our darkest hours, if we turn to Him, He will make a way for us.
1. Moses‘ Obedience and the Revelation of Salvation (v15-21)
The Lord commanded Moses to lead the Israelites forward and to stretch out his staff over the sea to divide the waters. Moses did not hesitate but obediently raised his staff, demonstrating his faith. True breakthroughs often begin with simple acts of obedience. When we take that step of faith, God will prepare the way for us.
2. Walking Through the Sea, with Walls of Water (v22)
When the Red Sea parted, the Israelites walked through on dry ground. This act of walking through the sea symbolizes the journey of faith. No matter how daunting the path may seem, if we trust in God, He will provide a secure passage.
1.The Confusion of the Enemy (v23-25)
The Egyptians’ chariots, which they relied on, became a hindrance to them. Moreover, the Lord caused confusion among the Egyptian army, filling them with fear and causing them to flee.
2. The Testimony of Salvation (v26-29)
The Israelites witnessed the miracle at the Red Sea and the destruction of the Egyptian army. Their hearts were filled with gratitude and awe. After experiencing this deliverance, they became living testimonies of God’s power. This miracle would be forever etched in their hearts, and they would pass down the story to future generations, so that they too might know the God who saves.
3. Reverence and Faith in God (v30-31)
The Israelites were utterly awestruck by God’s deliverance, and their hearts overflowed with thanksgiving and praise. Today, we too should live with a reverent heart, always remembering God’s salvation and grace in our lives.
In our moments of desperation, God will make a way for His people!
Through faith, we can experience His breakthrough and deliverance!
