Exodus 14:21b-22 The waters were divided,and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. (The Lord gives us an amazing picture of making the possible out of the impossible. He has caused the winds to blow powerfully enough that the sea waters have parted and the ocean floor is not only visible, but has been dried out by the blowing winds. Now His people can pass through the impassable treading a path no one had ever walked before. When we behold times and situations before us that are impassable, the Lord calls us to engage with Him as He unveils His path for us, often a path we would least expect, often a path that we have not taken before, often a path, that at first our perspective, seems impossible. As the people hurry through the dark night lit up by the fire of God's presence, they can see on either side that from which they are being protected and experience with their own eyes and feet the dry path before them. In this encounter with the Lord, a type and foreshadowing of baptism, He opens the way for His people through the waters of His mighty Presence just as He still does for us today where, often, the hardships in our lives open us to a powerful display of God's miracle-working power that we would have completely missed had He not invited us through the waters of the impossible.)
