Exodus 14:1 says, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  Then verse two adds, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.  God told Moses to have the people of Israel to camp in Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, against Baalzephon.  These were pretty detailed instructions, and we can be just as certain that God will let us know where He want us today.  We may not have the detailed instructions, but I believe that we will know when we are where God wants us to be.  Verse three states, For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.  God said that they were to go there so that Pharaoh would think they were trapped.  Sometimes, what God tells us to do may not seem reasonable, but we need to simply trust Him and do what He tells us to do.  Verse four continues, And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.  God said He would harden Pharaoh's heart so that Pharaoh would chase after the people of Israel so that God would be honored by Pharaoh, but I don't believe that God ever causes anyone to reject Him, and that God just knew how Pharaoh would react.  If God causes people to reject His will so that He might be honored by what happens to them, then He is not an all loving God.  The people of Israel did as God instructed them to do.  Verse five declares,  And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?  Not only Pharaoh, but his servants as well, questioned why hey had let the people of Israel go.  They had evidently forgotten all the plagues that God had sent on them.  Some people today will not acknowledge God, no matter how much evidence He sends of His existence.  Verse six adds, And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:  Pharaoh got in his chariot and took his people to chase after the people of Israel.  Verse seven continues, And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.  Pharaoh basically took his whole army to chase the people of Israel.  If we are ever feeling overwhelmed by life today, we just need to remember that the people of Israel were certainly out numbered during the Exodus, but since God was with them it didn't matter.  Verse eight declares, And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. Then verse nine adds, But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.  Pharaoh and his army caught up with the children of Israel where they were camped.  God had led the people of Israel there, and He was still with them.  As long as we are where God wants us, we need never worry about being overpowered by the world.  The ultimate victory is ours through our faith in Christ, just as the people of Israel's victory was assured by God then.  Verse ten states, And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.  When the people of Israel saw the Egyptians coming, they were afraid and called out to God.  They had also evidently forgotten what God had done, and saw the army of Egypt instead of remembering the power of God.  When we seem to be surrounded by evil, we need to look to God and not at the evil all around us.  Verse eleven adds,  And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?  The people of Israel began to complain to Moses, asking if there were not enough places to be buried in Egypt so he had brought them to where they were to die.  We don't need to be afraid and complain if we are where God leads us, but simply need to keep our focus on Him.  Verse twelve continues, Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.  The people of Israel told Moses that they had told him to leave them alone because it was better to be  servant in Egypt than to die in the wilderness.  We must never have the attitude that we are better off giving in to sin than standing firm for Christ, even if it seems to put us in a dangerous situation.  Verse thirteen declares,  And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.  Moses told the people not to worry, that after this they would see the Egyptians no more.  When we stand firm for God, we do not have to worry about the world overpowering us spiritually.  Verse fourteen adds, The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.  Moses said God would fight for them and that they should remain at peace.  We should likewise live at peace in the world today when we are following God's direction for our life.
