The Israelites. Moses holds out his staff. God parts the waters.
The sea opens up in front of them. Towering walls of water on each side - thundering, powerful water that could wash them away any moment, but for God.
When I put myself in their shoes, walking down that corridor that God opened up before them, I wonder at the fear and awesomness of it all. When God parts the waters for me, am I willing to just walk on in faith or do I look at the raging water on either side of me and fear it will come crashing down on me? Do I listen to His call or do I let myself be overwhelmed by the noise?
Either way, the choice is either to be destroyed by the enemy or to take a risk - to risk being crushed by the circumstance and to persevere - to set my gaze towards the unknown on the other side.
The decision to take the risk is in the first step.
yes..its is a very true,encouraging and helpful post :)
