How can we trust God to "turn the sea into dry land" today? Opening the Verse “ He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.” (Psalm 66:6) What God Did Then • Literally split the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21–22). • Repeated the miracle at the Jordan (Joshua 3:13, 17). • Used these events to showcase His power, keep His covenant, and call His people to joyful worship. Why This Matters Now • “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) • If His character and power have not changed, His capacity to intervene has not diminished. • The historical acts are living testimonies meant to fuel present-day faith (Romans 15:4). Seeing Today’s Seas • Impossible deadlines. • Crippling debt. • Family fractures. • Addictions or chronic illness. Whatever the “sea,” the principle is unchanged: God can create a pathway where none exists. Grounds for Trust • His proven record – Red Sea, Jordan, Jericho, Cross, Empty Tomb. • His unbreakable promises – “I am the LORD; I do not change.” (Malachi 3:6) – “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5) • His sovereign purpose – “We know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him.” (Romans 8:28) • His limitless power – “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine…” (Ephesians 3:20) Practical Steps to Lean on His Power Today 1. Recall His past faithfulness • Keep a journal of answered prayers. • Meditate on biblical miracles like Psalm 77:11–14; 1 Samuel 7:12. 2. Anchor in specific promises • Memorize and speak passages such as Isaiah 41:10 and 1 Corinthians 10:13. 3. Obey the next clear directive • Israel moved forward before the waters parted (Exodus 14:15–16). • Trust often looks like taking the first step while the obstacle still looms. 4. Surround yourself with faith-builders • Corporate worship (Hebrews 10:24–25). • Testimonies of God’s intervention in others’ lives. 5. Pray with expectancy • “Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10) • Ask specifically, believing He is both willing and able. Encouraging Examples • Financial rescue stories where a need was met at the last moment. • Medical turnarounds after fervent intercession. • Reconciled relationships that seemed hopeless. Each modern story is a fresh footprint of the same God who once made a seabed a highway. Living the Lesson Trusting God to “turn the sea into dry land” today means taking Him at His word, stepping forward in obedience, and expecting His mighty hand to carve a way where none appears. His past acts guarantee His present power; our role is to remember, believe, and move. |
