There is a way through

We all know that life goes up and down. Sometimes everything just runs, then it is easy to praise and thank God for all of His blessings. But sometimes we go through harder passages, God seems far away and we wonder if there is a way through all this. No matter how bad your circumstances may look, how big your problem seem or how hard passage you are going through, there is a way through!

When Moses and the Israel people left for the promised land they didn’t know what a long and hard walk lied ahead of them. They were about to meet many impossible situations where only God could help them. You and I are also on our way to our promised land, just like the Israel people, we also face a lot of situations that, for us, seem totally impossible. It is in those situations that God gets the opportunity to show us His miraculous power. The Word of God says: “For with God nothing will be impossible”
Luke 1:37.

This passage from the Bible, you will read below, talks about such an impossible situation. When we enter the story the Israel people have walked far and are very tired only to find the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army, wanting to kill them, behind them.

“And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea…” Ex 14:13-16

“Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.” Ex 14:21-22

Just like the Israelites we also react with fear and want to give up when we face problems and hard circumstances. But through Moses God encourage them not to look at the problems but to look to Him and they saw with their own eyes how God turns an impossible situation into a great miracle. The Israel people saw God making a way where there was no way!

This is yours and my God! Whatever you are going through there is a way through. Don’t focus on the problem but on the problem solver. Moses only had a simple rod in his hand but with God’s help he could divide a whole sea. You and I have so much more. We have the Word of God which is filled with power and works today and we have the name above every name, the name of Jesus. In the same way God told Moses to lift his rod, stretch out his hand and divide the sea you and I can lift up our rod, take the promises of God and speak them out over our life and situation. Then we we also see our Red Sea divided!

This is what I’ve been practicing when I’ve faced impossible situations. I have taken the Word of God and spoken it out over my situation until I have seen the sea divided and just like the Israel people did I have also gone through on dry ground. You also try and don’t give up until there is a way through.
