Exodus 14:13-16
But Moses said to the people, "Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.
"The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent."
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.
"As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land.

Do you expect a miracle from God? When you pray, do you actually think that God is going to answer your prayers? Do you give him all your troubles?
Often as Christians we pray out of mere formality. We do not think that the Lord is actually going to do something and move in our lives. I encourage you to stop that attitude right now.
When Moses arrived at the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s army was chasing after him he did not have time to offer up mere formalities. He had to trust that God was exactly who he said he was. He also had to trust that God was going to do exactly what he said he was going to do. Moses told the people "DO NOT FEAR!" We are so scared of what tomorrow might bring.
I direct this directly to those who are reading this who are dealing with breakups and other future decisions right now. God is still on his throne, just like he was when he saved the nation Israel. God is going to guide you if you let him. You must truly attempt great things for God and expect great thing from God. Most of you are not attempting anything except self-gratification by trying to solve all of your own problems. You cannot fix it. Give it to Jesus. Moses gave God the problem of the sea in front of him and look what happened.
You see Moses was up against the wall of water that was the Red Sea, but he feared not. Moses raised his staff and the nation Israel was saved. I believe you have the ability as a Christian to embrace the power of God through the mediator that is Christ Jesus. That power comes on your knees. You cannot embrace the power of a no fear life style unless you are first on your knees.
The Lord fought for him and he will fight for you if you get down on your knees and let him. Give him control over your life and you too can walk across on dry ground with Jesus. We are not promised an easy journey, but with Christ with us the ground is always going to be dry and navigable.
For the Israelites the Promised Land awaited, and for us as Christians we have an inheritance in a land known as Zion. I look forward to the day when we shall all cross over the river and dance on that day, but until then we must beat on trusting in our great champion and savior Jesus Christ...Have you put your whole faith in him friend? He does not want a piece of your heart; he wants the whole thing. What are you holding back from God? Give it to him and watch the miracle that takes place as He leads. Trust Him friend, He is calling. Embrace the miracle of Jesus Christ...Godspeed!
