I hear about the story of Israel crossing the red sea,since I remember. There remain the classes of Sunday school, drawings and movies that count the miracle that happened this day when God was covered of glory while he opened the sea and allowed Israel to escape of Pharaoh and his army.
Personally, I believe that the versions I have listened about this day scarcely manage to describe 1 % of what God wanted us to understand with the situation mentioned above.
And there they were, facing an obstacle that looked much bigger than the previous ones and with thousands of voices that were complaining and reminding to him how small he was and/or should feel, compared to that panorama.
He had listened to his words long enough time, to know that that situation was scaping of his hands; the complaints were turning into ghosts that seemed to take life as the cars were approaching and at the head there was nothing more than an imponent ocean which name seemed to prophesy what was coming over them.
Undoubtedly, I have feel like Moses often; overwhelmed by the impetuous world in which I live with people who FIGHT to make me feel without scape, without exit, without course.
God did much more that just saving his people of a sure death by the hands of the Egyptians;when he opened the red sea. It showed them that once they allow him to take the control of the situations, the results of these dark moments are surprising.
The Lord said to Moses: Why are you crying out to me? Tell the ISraelites to MOVE ON!
He created that opportunity to demonstrate to his people the big plans He had for them. Opportunities that in spite of not shining of pink color and not being covered of gold or of what would seem "normal" to any human being; were directed to the glorious plan interwoven by God.
The condition was simple:Move on! do not hope that I take them because I go ahead and behind you.
To cross this red sea,meant to believe in the opportunity that God was opening for them and implicate hurring up to do it by themselves " without thinking it very much " - as my dad says.
Recently, I have experienced the same feeling of the people of Israel. The opportunities have appeared and the voices of despondency, showed up as soon as I decided to put my feet in the sand hoping that God will transform this sea into two columns that would give me shade until I arrive to the other side.
The fact is that, when you have the certain that the opportunity comes from God, it belongs to fools not to believe in His loyalty and return to Egypt, instead of walking although an army approaches to devour you. If He planned this moment for me,He will go ahead and behind me just like the cloud and the column of fire did with with Israel.
The same presence will walk with you, if you decide to shut the voices down , do not distract and keep your vision in the goal;like Moses did, even on the middle of the complaints of two million people.
I do not repent, to walk in the middle of a red open sea trusting that these water columns will continue there until I get to the other side. It has been a wonderful adventure. And once I get there I will not hesitate to begin my way towards the promised land, the Cannaan that God already prepared for me.
