Scripture: "And Moses said unto the
people, Fear ye not, stand still and see the
Salvation of the Lord. . . " Exodus 14:13
I would
like to continue on the Power of Prayer. You
think your problems are so big that you do not
know how God can take care of them. You
feel that you have reached the end of your
journey and you just can't carry on. Oh my
friend how big is God.
My God is
a Big! Mighty! Awesome! Powerful God! Look
at Exodus the 14th chapter Moses was given the
awesome duty of leading the multitudes
(millions) of Israelites out of bondage from
Egypt. The Egyptian army with their horses
and chariots were in hot pursuit, on the heals
of the Israelites. They were going to take
over and destroy the Israelites. They were right
behind the Israelites and in front of the
Israelites laid the red sea "And Moses said unto
the people, Fear ye not, stand still and see the
Salvation of the Lord" Exodus 14:13 and in verse
21 "And Moses stretched out his hand over the
sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a
strong east wind all the night, and made the sea
dry land, and the waters were divided."
WOW! my
friend the Red Sea is 7,254 feet deep and at the
narrowest part it is 22 miles across and 220
miles at the widest part and God caused it to
separate and, listen now he not only caused it
to separate but he made the floor of the sea
where it separated dry. Some theologians say a
twister took place at that time to cause the
waters to separate. Listen I do not know
how he did it but I know he did it. I know
that the waters stayed divided until all the
Israelites were crossed over to the other side.
When the Egyptians were crossing the waters came
pouring over them and they were destroyed.
How big is God? This is the God I'm
serving.
You worry
about where your next meal is coming from?
Remember the widow that Elijah came to and asked
her for a drink and a morsel of bread. She
said there in I Kings 17 that she only had
enough meal and oil to make a small portion for
her and her son to eat. Then they would
starve. The Prophet of the Lord, Elijah
said, "Fear not; go and do as thou hast said,
but make me a little cake first and bring it
unto me, and after make for thee and for thy
son." "For thus saith the Lord God of
Israel, the barrel of meal shall not waste
neither shall the cruise of oil fail, unto the
day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth."
Many of us
would be saying or thinking, why you selfish man
feed you and not my child first. I do not
believe God would say that, but she went and did
it and she and her house ate for many days.
How big is
God, that's the God I serve. He's the same
today as yesterday. There is power in
prayer and in listening to the answer God sends
and obeying Him. God bless you, let's
pray.
Father
thank you for loving us and for caring for us.
Teach us Lord to come before you boldly. Lord
help each of us to know just how big and
powerful you are. Lord hear our prayers
and open our ears that we might hear your reply
and open our faith to accept the answers.
I love you Lord. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
