Devotional: Exodus 14

Today’s passage: Exodus 14

Helpful thoughts:

  • The Lord’s victory over Pharaoh and Egypt on behalf of Israel was not yet complete.  The Lord would harden his heart one more time.
  • What looked like a dead end to the people of Israel was what God intentionally used to bring about their escape and freedom.
    • Today we read the beginning of Israel’s complaining against the Lord.
      • “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” (Verse 14)
  • There was no denying who won this victory.  A miracle had taken place.  The waters of the sea stood as a wall on both sides of Israel as they crossed on dry land.  Every Egyptian in their military perished.  Not a single Israelite raised a hand against the Egyptians to strike them.

Questions to consider:

  1. What were to be the outcomes of this rescue and victory?  What all did God accomplish?
  2. How did He do it?  What were the specific miracles He performed and how did He show His presence before Israel and Egypt?
  3. How can we read Philippians 2:9-11 and therefore place a similar trust in the Lord for our rescue?  What did the acknowledgement of the Egyptians that the Lord was fighting for Israel do for the Israelites?  What can the knowledge of the whole world one day bowing their knees to Jesus do for the church?
