"Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward" - Exod. 14:15

To obey meant, so far as the natural eye could see, certain death. But He who gave the command, opened a dry way through the bed of the sea, as soon as they set forward. He never asks of us impossibilities, nor does He command us to do what is unreasonable. Augustine of Hippo wrote long ago, "God's commandments are God's enablings," and this is ever blessedly true. What seem to us to be insurmountable difficulties or insoluable problems are simple enough to Him whose power is omnipotent and whose understanding is infinite. When He says, Go forward, all barriers give way as we obey His voice! - H. A. Ironside

Have you come to the Red Sea place in your life, Where, in spite of all you can do,

There is no way out, there is no way back, There is no other way but - through?

Then wait on the Lord with a trust serene Till the night of your fear is gone;

He will send the wind, He will heap the floods, When He says to your soul, 'go on!'

And your fears shall pass as your foes have passed, You shall be no more afraid;

You shall sing His praise in a better place, A place that His hand has made. -- Annie Johnson Flint
