The first major test of Israel’s faith during the Exodus comes at the Red Sea. With the Egyptian army hot in pursuit, they now were between the proverbial “rock and a hard place.” Fearing for their lives, they cry out against God. Instead of granting their wish to return to bondage in Egypt, God displays his mighty hand – protecting the Israelites and punishing the Egyptians. In this Exodus story there are some wonderful parallels with believers today, experiencing delivery out of bondage into a new life.
