Faith...complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, bases on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. Israel’s passing through the Red Sea is a huge example of faith.
It was an act of faith for Moses to rebuke the nation for their fear.
- He knew the Lord had promised to bring the nation out of Egypt.
- And though the situation looked hopeless, Moses maintained hope, knowing the Lord was faithful to His promises.
It was also an act of faith that Israel itself walked through the waters.
- They must have had fear of the walls of water on either side.
- Still, they ventured forward, confident the Lord would hold back the water.
- Because they trusted in the Lord, they were saved in a physical sense.
- There were many other supernatural displays of God along the journey, but the Red Sea marks the beginning of Israel’s departure from Egypt.
