In what ways can we trust God to overcome obstacles in our lives? Anchoring Truth from Exodus 15:10 “But You blew with Your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.” (Exodus 15:10) What the Red Sea Moment Reveals about God • He commands creation: one breath, and an ocean moves. • He neutralizes enemies: chariots, horses, and fear alike go under. • He acts decisively: no half-measure solutions, only complete deliverance. • He finishes what He starts: the same God who opened the path closed it behind His people. Ways We Can Trust God to Overcome Obstacles Today • Trust His power—nothing is too formidable. “For nothing will be impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37) • Trust His timing—He is never late. The sea parted at night’s darkest hour, just before dawn. • Trust His presence—He walks through the obstacle with us. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” (Isaiah 43:2) • Trust His purpose—every hurdle fits His redemptive plan, even when unseen. • Trust His final word—He closes doors no enemy can reopen. Supporting Snapshots from Scripture • Jordan River stopped (Joshua 3:13) • Jericho’s walls fell (Joshua 6:20) • Gideon’s 300 routed thousands (Judges 7:19-22) • Jehoshaphat faced “a vast army” yet heard, “the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (2 Chronicles 20:15) • Peter walked on water when eyes stayed on Jesus (Matthew 14:29-31) • Resurrection morning: the stone rolled away, death’s ultimate obstacle crushed (Matthew 28:2-6) Practical Steps to Cultivate Red-Sea Faith 1. Remember past deliverances—rehearse God’s track record like Israel’s song in Exodus 15. 2. Meditate daily on promises—faith grows where Scripture is stored. 3. Speak truth aloud—verbally align feelings with God’s reality. 4. Obey the next clear instruction—even when seas have not yet split. 5. Stand still when directed; move forward when He says go. 6. Surround yourself with testimonies—hear how He parts waters for others. 7. Praise before results—worship is warfare that readies the heart for victory. Encouragement for the Journey “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31) Obstacles come and go; His breath remains. Stand firm, step forward, and watch the waters obey. |
