So say you were following Moses and running away from Pharaoh's army. The miracles that had been performed up to this point were nothing short of, well…miraculous. Then you come up against an obstacle. A pretty big obstacle. It's the Red Sea. Oh crap. This is it. We are never going to make it now. There aren't any more miracles that could get us out of this one. Then, as you may have heard, God uses Moses to do the impossible. He tells Moses to pick up his staff and raise his hand over the sea and what happened? The Red Sea parts and the Israelites get to walk through to the other side on dry ground. Pharaoh's army? Well, let's just say that a whole lot of spouses got to collect on life insurance after that day.
There's a really cool verse in Psalms that recounts that day. It says, "Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters - a pathway no one knew was there!" (Psalms 77:19)
Let's focus on that last line. A pathway no one knew was there. You see, God promised Moses that he would use him to lead his people out of Egypt. God promises us that if we seek him with all we've got, He will show us which path to take. The difference sometimes is that when we are faced with major opposition (Red Sea), we give up. Moses could have given up, but he believed that the path he needed to take was already there even though he couldn't see it.
Our paths are there. God's plans for our lives are there. Our paths may be covered up with water right now and no one can see it, but if we seek God with all we've got, have faith in him, trust him and truly listen…then we can start hearing the wind. The wind that is pushing the waters back and showing us our next step. Showing us the pathway that we need to take.
Seek his will in all you do and he will show you which path to take-Proverbs 3:6
Keep seeking. Your pathway is there.
