‘Meet the Lord God who saves His people’ (Exodus 14:1-14)

In Exodus 14:1-14, the people of Israel who have just departed from Egypt, find themselves in a very, very tricky situation. With Pharaoh and his armies in pursuit of them and impassable mountains to the left and the right, the people (who had been led clearly by God through pillar of cloud and fire) were sitting ducks! Naturally, their reolved and trust in the Lord fell apart. Any hope they had known was now gone. Any trust in the Lord was completely eroded. But God wasn’t finished yet. And all the people had to do was ‘stand still’ and ‘say nothing’ and God would do the rest!
