I. THE DEED OF VALOUR. Moses walking down the gravelly beach into the sea; Israel following. A lesson to us to come with boldness.

II. THE MIRACULOUS WAY. We walk in new and unseen ways.

III. THE OVERTHROW OF THE ENEMY.

1. His wrath.

2. His foolhardiness; forgetting the plagues. All sin is irrational.

3. His sudden destruction. Death surprises the impenitent.

IV. THE SAME INSTRUMENTS BOTH DEFENDING AND DESTROYING.

1. The cloud.

2. The water.

3. The gospel.

V. WHAT ISRAEL FOUND IN THE SEA-PATH.

1. Rebuke for the murmuring.

2. Filial fear.

3. Trust in God.

4. Trust in Moses.

5. Nationality; before, they were all slaves, then free men, now a nation.Learn:

1. All people must struggle and dare.

2. Our characters come from soul-struggles where self is abandoned, and trust is put in God.

3. Man's extremity is God's opportunity.

4. God will, out of every temptation, make a way of escape.

(Dr. Fowler.)
