As the Israelites see the oncoming Egyptian army in pursuit of them, they begin complaining against God playing this cruel joke on them. After displaying His might power through the plagues and shielding the Israelites from them, allowing the Israelites to plunder the Egyptians with gold, silver, and other goods, now He is going to allow them to be slaughtered in the desert??? How quickly they forget who He is.
Undeterred, God saves them with one of the most famous acts in all history - the parting of the Red Sea. Fortunately, God knows man well and all of our unbelieving tendencies, and He is so unlike us in temperament - praise the Lord!
Are we much different from the Israelites? Do we quickly forget all of God's provision for us in the past? Are we too quick to "get mad at God" when things get tough or do we immediately think we are going to solve all of our own problems in our way in our time? Prayer anyone!
I would like to encourage all to attend our Prayer meeting on Sunday night. Also, pray unceasingly - about everything in your life. Ask the same God who created the universe (150 billion light years wide) and parted the Red Sea to solve your piddly little item (when compared to His displayed works). Remember also, how God has come through personally for you in the past.
