the Egyptians Destroyed in the Sea

Exo 14:21-31

As the front ranks of Israel approached the surf, the billows parted. The very waves they dreaded became a wall. By faith Israel passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. They went through the flood on foot. So shalt thou, oh frightened child of God! Behind thee, the terror of the foe; before thee, the horror of the unknown. But God is with thee. The sheen of the Presence-Cloud shines upon and before thee. Be of good cheer, though thou passest through the waters, thou shalt not be overwhelmed. See Psa 66:6; Psa 78:13; Isa 43:2.

The Egyptians owed their safety at first to the presence of Israel; but it was only for a time. The ungodly owe more to the presence of God’s children than they realize. See Gen 19:22. On which side of God’s cloud are you? In Christ we may stand without fear before the searchlight of God! Compare Exo 14:24 with Heb 4:13 and Rev 6:16.
