It is amazing how often we can go to the bible and find in that book written so many years ago, the answers to the current problems we may be facing in life. There is something about the word of God that is timeless. It is timeless because God is not constrained by time. Bro. Hughes reminds us that our journey through life will not be without incidents and issues. It is inevitable that each of us will face trouble as we live life on earth. The Israelites faced many adversities. Even as they were being led out of Egyptian bondage, they had to cross the Red Sea between two giant walls of water that looked as if they would rush in and crush them. Even as God is delivering us, the outlook can be rather dangerous looking. As they wondered in the desert, Israel faced many adversities that surly appeared to be defeat to them. So much so that they wondered if they would be better off back in Egyptian bondage. The truth is that even though things looked bleak and dangerous, God was delivering them. God had made a promise to them and He meant to keep it. Our scripture text is a song of worship that reflects back to the painful experience, and giving praise for the revelation that He was delivering them all the while. They were not able to see at the time what was happening, but upon looking back, they saw the hand of God keeping them and leading them all the way. The best they could say in this text was “we went though.” God was taking them somewhere that was better than where they were. They had to go though some rough places to get there, but His plan was better than where they were. God has a plan for us too. It may take us through some scary places, but if we allow Him to lead, we will be taken to a place that is better than we can imagine.
