The angel of God who was going before the Israelite army moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and took its place behind them. It came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel. And so the cloud was there with the darkness, and it lit up the night; one did not come near the other all night.
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into dry land; and the waters were divided. The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. The Egyptians pursued, and went into the sea after them, all of Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and chariot drivers. At the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and cloud looked down upon the Egyptian army, and threw the Egyptian army into panic. He clogged their chariot wheels so that they turned with difficulty. The Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the Israelites, for the LORD is fighting for them against Egypt."
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and chariot drivers." So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at dawn the sea returned to its normal depth. As the Egyptians fled before it, the LORD tossed the Egyptians into the sea. The waters returned and covered the chariots and the chariot drivers, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not one of them remained. But the Israelites walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left.
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Israel saw the great work that the LORD did against the Egyptians. So the people feared the LORD and believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
1. The story reveals that the Israelites experienced some of the same feelings on the shore of the sea as they had in the wilderness. What is it like to look back and see Egyptians advancing? What are the fears that all but consume the people? What does Moses' crying out betray? Imagine being there by the sea through the long night. What might be gained by turning around and going back? What might returning to Pharaoh salvage for the future of the Hebrew people?
2. What do you know of times in your life when you have been caught between the devil and the deep blue sea? Recall some of those defining times when you have spent the long night between the Pharaoh of your Egypt and the waters separating you from freedom, a new start, another chapter in a different land.
3. On what dark shore are you spending these days? Through the long night that may be hours, days, weeks, and even months, what is the Pharaoh in your life demanding that you surrender in order to return to the security, safety and sanity of Egypt? What is the vision, hope, or dream on the other side of the sea that calls, woos, and beckons you to risk the waters? What do you gain and lose by opting for Egypt? What is your payoff, and what is the price of heading into the sea? When will you decide?
