Sunday: To the Promised Land via a Dead End
“And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD” (Exodus 14:10, NKJV).
Have you ever been set up, led into a trap or to a dead end? Sometimes it can be nice, like walking unexpectedly into a room of waiting friends who all shout “Surprise! Happy birthday!” At other times it can be quite a shock, even a very unpleasant one. It may have been bullies when you were at school, or a work colleague who unexpectedly tried to make you look bad.

From the day the Israelites left Egypt until they reached the Promised Land, “the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night” (Exodus 13:21, NIV). Every part of their journey was led by God Himself. But look at where He led them first: to a place where the sea was before them, mountains were on either side, and Pharaoh’s army was within eyesight right behind!
Read Exodus 14:1-31. Why did God bring the Israelites to a place where He knew they would be terrified?
Following “the pillar” doesn’t assure us of being happy all the time. It also can be a hard experience, because training in righteousness takes us to places that test our hearts, which are so naturally deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9). During these difficulties, the key to knowing when we are truly following God is not necessarily the absence of trials or pain but, rather, an openness to God’s instruction and a continual submission of our minds and hearts to His leading.
What lesson did the Israelites learn from this experience? Exodus 14:31.
| Why is trusting God sometimes so hard, even though we may know many of the wonderful promises He has for us? Recount some difficult situation you believe the Lord led you into in order to teach you to “believe” in and to “fear” Him. |
Amen!

Whom Do We Blame for All of This Bad Stuff?
by Richard W. Coffen | 8 July 2022 | One Sabbath, my pastor decided to dabble in apologetics. “Why doesn’t God intervene to override bad things?” he asked. First, he proposed that God chooses not to interfere with our use of free will, which he has given us. We can opt to worship on Saturdays […] Source: https://atoday.org/who-do-we-blame-for-all-of-this-bad-stuff/
