When God Leads Us to a Dead End | Pr Daniel Tan

Exodus 13:17-14 God’s purpose in this verses is to prevent the Israelite from changing their minds and returning to Egypt. The Red Sea incident burns their last bridge and therefore guarantees they can never return this way again, even if war with Amalek frightens them. Again, the Lord wants to make sure the Israelite can never change their minds and return to slavery. So he must do two things: utterly eliminate the oppressors, and close the route at Israel’s back. Once they cross the Sea, and the waters return to their place behind them, they literally cannot turn around and go back. We would hope that, just like God led Israel out of prison and slavery, God will use this story to teach us the kind of liberation that can only come from Him.
