Exodus 14:21 English Standard Version (ESV) Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

We were speaking yesterday about seeing our way out of this present pandemic of evil and hitting the reset button. During this time we want to hear and believe God in order to walk in His will as He moves against the tide of evil in our nation. Allow me to grasp an example of an old escape plan in order to point out some not so obvious points.

Here in Exodus 14:21 Moses stretches forth his hands in obedience to God’s command. This is something we should aspire to do. Moses stands on the edge of the sea. Moses did not step down into the sea until God was through preparing the way. This went on all night. In the flesh Moses must have been getting tired. Holding our arms outstretched all night long is a super human feat.

Our flesh will be on edge waiting on the Lord to complete His work. We do not have the strength to maintain the attitude of worship that long. We need His strength to succeed. We need to pray for that strength. We need God to be super human in us in order not to jump off the edge and into the middle of the fray.

I watched a video of men and women breaking into a Wells Fargo bank. There were those who were actively doing damage and then there were eager participants waiting for the windows to be removed so that they could enter. Then there were those at the back that held back from participating. Those people were not actively participating. They were on the edge, perhaps even on edge.

Those are the ones that can be reached. Those are the ones that might hear another voice, a voice of reason.

“God loves you.”
