I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him,
he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John
15:5
Pray
for God to speak to you through the reading of His word.
Read
Exodus 14:1-31
God’s Great
Reversal
-
Why was Pharaoh so keen to pursue the
Israelites? What did Pharaoh believe
about the Israelites situation?
-
How did God bait a trap for Pharaoh and
his army, even before they attempted to cross the Red Sea in pursuit of Israel?
-
How did God reverse the situation, from
Israel appearing to be trapped, to Pharaoh’s army being actually trapped?
-
How did God reverse the situation in the
instance of Jesus and the cross?
-
What did the world think would happen when
it killed Jesus? What actually happened?
-
Passage to Consider: I Corinthians 15:54-55
Recreation for God’s
Creation
-
What elements of nature does God use to
achieve Israel’s liberation?
-
What common elements does the story of the
Red Sea crossing have with the story of creation, and the flood in Noah’s time?
-
How does God create a path for us,
seemingly out of nowhere?
-
What similarities are there between the
Israelites crossing of the Red Sea, and baptism?
-
Passage to Consider: Romans 6:1-4
From Fear to Faith
-
When things appear to be going badly, do
you typically respond with fear or with faith?
-
Fear drives us back to what?
-
Faith comes from recognizing the work of
God in our lives. How has God been at
work in your life?
-
Fear of the world drives us away from God,
but fear of the Lord brings us closer to him.
Which fear is setting the agenda in your life?
Praise
God for reversing our fortunes through the cross of Christ!
Thank
God for providing a path for us, even when it seems there is none.
Pray
that your life might be directed by a fear of the Lord, rather than a fear of
this world.
