There are things in our lives that have great power to withhold us from our best. Sometimes it’s fear, other times it’s a memory of failure, still other times it’s a character flaw and sometimes its an outside pressure like a person that continually tears us down or an activity that weakens us. Whatever the case, these things have great power in our lives. Because of that, the Savior takes a stand against these oppressors and wrenches us free from their grip.
“God delivered Israel that day from the oppression of the Egyptians. And Israel looked at the Egyptian dead washed up on the shore of the sea, and they realized the tremendous power that God brought.” ~Exodus 14:30
And just like, the giant struggle to be free from the Egyptians was over. I don’t think we can adequately imagine what it must have been like to watch the two towering walls of water collapse upon the Egyptian army, but it must have been frightful. And then in a few minutes to watch dead soldiers wash ashore in the surf, wow. There was an ominous silence as the people watched and wondered at the raw power of their God. This enemy that had been so powerful against them for hundreds of years was now utterly defeated and laying lifeless in clumps on the beach. This is the take-away today. Christ has scheduled some remarkable days of victory for you too. And on that day the things that were once so powerful to weaken you will be utterly defeated and lay lifeless...and YOU WILL BE FREE! ~verlon
