No More Forever

(Pt 4. Mini Series on the Red Sea)

"You will cast all our sins Into the depths of the sea."

Micah 7:19

Reading: Exodus 14:23-28.

Israel were not the only ones on that seabed. Pharaoh's army went in after them — the same sea, the same path, the same walls of water. But their end was not the same. "Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained" (v 28).

Hebrews tells us where the difference lay: "By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned" (Hebrews 11:29). Attempting to do the same thing. From the outside it looked identical, step for step — but Israel went in trusting God, and Egypt went in trusting its own horses and chariots. There are two ways to go into that sea, and only one of them comes out.

To those who trust Him, God makes a promise He makes to no one else. The Egyptians they saw that day they would "see again no more forever" (Exodus 14:13) — and Micah tells us God does the same with their sins, casting them into the depths where the chariots lie. He does not negotiate with the old master, or reform him. He drowns him. "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, thank You that for those who are in Christ there is no condemnation left. Let me be found trusting Him, and never myself. In His precious name. Amen.
