Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. (NIV) Exodus 14:21-22
Over the years I’ve read the scientific accounts that if the Israelites crossed over at a shallow area. . . and if there was a moderate wind blowing . . . and if there was an abrupt change in the wind’s direction and it blew at just the right angle. . . and if the water level dropped 10 feet. . . then perhaps, there was a drying effect across the Red Sea from the wind.
Miraculously though, God parted the Red Sea with monstrous walls of water piled up on either side of the fleeing Israelites. I can imagine giant fish displayed within the walls like they were in a fish bowl! Only God! Scientists may not believe it, but there was no doubt about the miracle for those who experienced it (Exodus 14:31).
Where do you see God’s power displayed? in the birth of a child? through physical, emotional, spiritual healing? in a thunderstorm? on a mountain range? in a changed life? in a restored marriage? in a reconciled relationship? God wants us to know “His incomparably great power for us who believe” (Ephesians 1:19). The power God wants us to know is greater than “Red Sea parting power”. . . it is power “like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 1:19-20). And that power my friend is beyond what can be explained by science! Rejoice that you are a child of His! Nothing is impossible for God!
