The Israelites had faith in the power of their God to make a way against an enemy that appeared stronger and overwhelming. As we face our own enemies—like the pain or suffering that make us want to cower when we feel their power—our faith has the evidence found in Scripture of the Lord’s power on display against strong enemies.

  2. Mary says:

    I need to get better at believing God – sometimes, it’s like I’m afraid to pray a certain thing because I think that “there’s just no way that could actually happen”. Really, God brought down walls and parted seas for His people!

      Mary, I understand completely. I need to remember that God does amazing things every day. I ask God now to please give each of us a mustard seed of faith that He can grow into a giant tree!
