Exodus 14:26-31 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses."
Does it seem that the events in Exodus are told repetitiously? The LORD tells us what He is going to do to the Egyptians and for Israel. He tells us that He performed those things. Then, He tells us that they are done and that the outcome is exactly what He said it would be.
Perhaps, if we paid closer attention to His word, He would not need to repeat it so often for our benefit. If it was important enough for God to repeat Himself, then it should be important enough for us to read it repeatedly. According to the LORD’s command, Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea again. The LORD did not need for Moses to do this for His sake, but rather for Moses’ and the children of Israel’s sakes.
The same path that was a miraculous deliverance to Israel was a path of destruction to their enemies. Israel stepped out safe onto the other side of the Red Sea, but God drowned all of Pharaoh’s host in those waters. God allowed Israel to see them dead upon the shore. There was nothing left to fear from the land of bondage. Israel saw the great work the LORD did; the people revered (feared) God; the people believed God; the people believed the servant of God that He had sent.
Dear ones, we should never give credit to any man or group of men for the great work the LORD does in our lives. Men cannot save us, but we are blessed to tell about the One who does. Men do not deserve reverence, but we are blessed to tell about the One who does. Believe God and believe the servants that He has seen fit to use for His glory. Other than Jesus, no man ever deserves to be worshipped.
