Exodus 14:26-28 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward[c] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea..
Grace and Peace! What followed Israel into the sea could not survive where God had already made a way.
The same waters that held Israel’s path became the place where the enemy was removed. God does not just open doors.
He closes chapters. There are things in our lives that follow us from old seasons—fear, insecurity, doubt, trauma.
But when God brings deliverance, He also brings separation.

Reflection Question: What is God closing behind you as you move forward?
Prayer: Father, thank You that Your grace comes before my obedience. Teach me to live in response to Your salvation, not in an attempt to earn it. May my life reflect gratitude for Your deliverance. Amen.
