Going Through on Dry Land
Aug 12th
In Exodus 14 we read the story of how the people of Israel were in a very precarious position. They had fled their life of slavery in Egypt, led by the great prophet, Moses. God was showing Moses the way via a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night. There was a much shorter route that could have been taken, so why had they been led right up to the shore of the Red Sea? To complicate things the Egyptian army led by Pharaoh himself was in hot pursuit after the king had changed his mind one final time about letting the people go.
So here they were; the army of Egypt closing fast upon their heels and a dead end on the other side at the Red Sea. But never fear, God had a plan. Moses was to stretch the rod his rod over the sea. When he did a wind began to blow and it continued all night. The next day miraculously the sea had parted and the people of Israel were able to cross that impassable boundary on dry land! To make the miracle even more spectacular, when the army of Egypt followed across the sea, after the last Israelite stepped out on the opposite shore, the water began to fall. It was like two great waterfalls clashing against each other as it swept over the Egyptian army, leaving them dead. God had delivered His people.

True Worship
Sep 1st
The Samaritan woman had discoursed with Jesus about her life. This portion of Scripture begins with discernment, “Sir I see that You are a prophet.” That was worship and reverence. Worship is recognizing Who God is and what he represents.
She then added, “Our fathers worshipped (past tense) on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place we must worship (present tense) is in Jerusalem.” The Samaritans had a past experience of worship and it was mountain worship. It was not the true worship because it was based on past tradition. The Jews on the other hand had a present experience of worship- in Jerusalem. It was the center of worship- the dwelling place of God.
