f you see the Red Sea in front of you, won’t it seem like the silliest thing to do to expect to walk on dry land through it?
Walking through the Red Sea on dry land does sound like a crazy idea. However, just like so many wonderful, incredibly, seemingly impossible things that can happen once God steps into picture, this one — walking through the Red Sea on dry land — is not an exception.
History has this story covered. After 400 years of slavery, the Israelites believed that God was going to free them from slavery and that their time to leave Egypt had come (Exodus 15).
Now, I want you to think very carefully about the next sentence you are about to read, because it’s important that you get it immediately.
“The only way to leave Egypt behind was to walk through the Red Sea in front, on dry land.”
