March Madness: Marching Into the Sea (Faith)
David Jeremiah
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 14:22

2 Corinthians 5:7
Hebrews 11:1 in the New Living Translation (second edition) says that faith "gives us assurance about things we cannot see." And God allows us to find ourselves in places where we cannot see. Faith says, in those places, "Trust God's promises."
Moses and the Israelites found themselves in such a place when they marched out of Egypt. They were on the banks of the Red Sea and the Egyptian army was closing fast. They couldn't see a way out; only faith would see them through. It seemed like madness to march through the water -- who had ever seen such a thing before? Nobody! But that was God's instruction to Moses. Not only did they have to believe the waters would part but that the waters wouldn't crash back upon them as they walked across the floor of the sea. So they marched into the place where the Red Sea had been and they were saved.
The purpose of places in which we lose our vision is to strengthen our faith. If that's where you are today, let God's promises give you assurance about the things you cannot see.
The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.
