Review:
Pharoah has finally let Moses & Aaron take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt after the plague of the firstborn dying in his land.
The Lord established the ordinance of the Passover that was to be remembered in a feast for all future generations when the Lord "passed over" the firstborn of the children of Israel as they applied the blood of the passover lamb to their doorposts and their lives were spared.
When God led the people out, He didn't send them the way of the land of the Philistines which was near to the land of Promise.
Instead He led them around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea. The Lord led them Himself in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
Exodus Chapter 14
1. The Lord asks that they turn back toward Egypt to camp close to the sea.

-
What did the Lord say to him? vs. 15 -
The Lord told Moses to lift up his staff and stretch out his hand over the sea and divide it and the Israelites would go over on dry land.
He said that He would harden the hearts of the Egyptians to go in after them and then He would be honored among Pharaoh and his chariots.
6. What did the Lord want all the Egyptians to know? vs. 18 -
Application:
-
Have you sensed the Lord directing you in a certain direction only to be asked to return back the way you came again? -
Has it occured to you that He may be accomplishing something in the circumstances of others around you that they might know He is the Lord when He is honored through the situation?
One thing is for sure, His thoughts are not always our thoughts.
