Promise 37 from Exodus 14:31

Ex. 14:31 - "When Israel saw the great power, which the Lord had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in His servant Moses." - It took a lot to bring the Israelites to faith in God and in Moses. Even after all the plagues and the death of the first born Egyptians, after the pillar of fire and cloud to guide them, they still had their doubts, until they walked through the sea, between the walls of water and then saw the enemy destroyed, then they believed. Even though God displayed His power over and over again, the Israelites still feared the Egyptians. It wasn't til their enemy was fully destroyed, it wasn't til the removal of the object of their fear, that they rested in the faith and trust in God. We do this over and over again don't we? As long as threat exists in our lives, we will tend to fear it more than fear God. We have a tendency to think that whatever our enemy is, it deserves the right to be feared. That is so wrong! If we TRULY believe that God is who He says He is then our faith in Him will trump our fear of the enemy. We will realise that it is ridiculous to fear the enemy when we are walking inheritance of the Almighty God, Creator of the Universe, giver of life and death, the ALL powerful One. We can be so silly sometimes.
