The Lord led His people into the wilderness to the Red Sea and the end of all their resources in order to reveal His presence and power.

Knowing who we are the the temptations we face, the Lord God commits himself to protect us in the path He has laid our for us.

God did not deliver His people and let them fend for themselves. The God who delivers promises also to lead us. This leading is not only our privilege as children of God but also our desperate need.

The people of God were facing the greatest trial they had ever faced as a nation. They lived under the oppression of slavery and hatred in the land of Egypt. Unable to save themselves from this cruelty, they cried out to God for deliverance. Exodus 13:17 is a declaration of defeat to the enamy and victory for God's people. This same victory can be ours in the circumstances we face in life.

In this episode we will conclude our study of Philippians 4:5-7 with some personal thoughts and some final words of encouragement.
