EXO14:15 says, And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:  God asked Moses why he was crying out to, or I believe we could say doubting, Him.  God may ask us the same question at times.  When God calls us to do something, we don't need to question nor complaint to Him.  God told Moses to tell the people of Israel to go forward, and so must we when God tells us to go today.  Verse sixteen adds, But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.  God instructed Moses to lift his rod and stretch his hand out over the sea and the people of Israel would walk through on dry ground.  Some people today want to say that the people of Israel really didn't pass through the sea, but escaped through the marsh land.  This is not what God's word teaches us, since it declares the sea would part and they would pass through on dry, not even muddy, ground.  Verse seventeen adds, And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.  God additionally told Moses that Pharaoh would follow him, but that God would honor Himself by what would happen to Pharaoh and his army.  God had given Pharaoh plenty of opportunities to believe in Him and His power, and he continually refused to, so he was about to reap the rewards of his continued disobedience.  I personally don't believe that God was going to do this just to show His power, just as He doesn't send anyone to hell just to show His power.  Just like Pharaoh, every person is given an opportunity to follow God, but when he or she won't, then God will judge that person for his or her sins.  God cannot overlook sin, so we either accept forgiveness through faith in Christ, or we pay the penalty.  Verse eighteen continues, And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.  God said all of Egypt would know that He was God, because of what He was going to do to Pharaoh and his army.  God did not say that they would accept Him as their God, but that they would know that He was God.  There are people today who believe that there is a God, but they do not accept Him as their personal Savior.  Verse nineteen declares, And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:  The angel of the LORD which had been going ahead of the people of Israel moved behind them, as did the pillar of cloud.  This was not to lead them back, but to stand between the people and Pharaoh.  The pillar of cloud was a visual sign of the presence of God.  Today, we need to realize that God protects us from any harm coming to us from where we were when living a sinful life, and we need to never turn back to where we were before we accepted Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Verse twenty states, And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.  The pillar of cloud was darkness to the Egyptians, but was a light to the people of Israel.  Today, Jesus is the dividing point between people.  We either accept Him as a light to our lives, or we continue to live in the darkness of sin.  Verse twenty-one states, And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.  When Moses stretched forth hs rod, God parted the sea.  We sometimes hear of Moses parting the sea, but he didn't do it.  God parted the sea.  He didn't really need Moses to stretch out the rod, but this was just a sign of Moses belief and obedience to God.  We should never take credit for what God does in the world today, and we should never need signs of His presence.  Verse twenty-two declares, And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.  The people of Israel passed through on dry ground with a wall of water on each side, which hardly describes a marsh.  When we find ourselves in a seemingly unwinnable situation, like the people of Israel, we too often complain instead of believing that God will provide the answer.  We need to always simply live by faith in God, no matter our situation.
