Red Sea & Jericho

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen - Hebrews 11:1.

Red Sea

             The Israelites crossed the Red Sea by faith with no fear. By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned - Hebrews 11:29. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left - Exodus 14:21,22. To Him who divided the Red Sea in two, For His mercy endures forever - Psalm 136:13.

Jericho

             The Israelites conquered Jericho by faith with patience. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days - Hebrews 11:30. The walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days by faith. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also - James 2:26.  And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city - Joshua 6:20. 

              God will break all the obstacles that are before us and open all the closed doors as we walk by faith like the Israelites and not by sight. The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head - Micah 2:13. Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters - Isaiah 43:16. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut - Revelation 3:8. I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron - Isaiah 45:2. 

 For we walk by faith, not by sight - 2 Corinthians 5:7. 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us walk by faith and not by sight. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
