If God Did It for One, He Could Do It for Another, for He is Definitely Able to Do It Again 

In the 14th chapter of the Book of Exodus, Moses and the children of Israel found themselves in a great dilemma.  The Egyptians pursued them from behind, and they faced what appeared to be the impassable Red Sea before them.  But in the 13th and the 14th verses, Moses said:

 13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever.

14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

And in the 21st and 22nd verses, this is what happened:

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

God delivered His people with a High Hand.

Upon the death of Moses, Joshua, the minister to Moses, found himself facing the Jordan River.  He, too, had God’s people looking to him for safe passage to the other side.  God’s method this time was to have Joshua direct the priests who carried the Ark of the Covenant to step into the Jordan River.  When their feet touched the water, the Jordan river dried up.  This allowed God’s people to cross over the Jordan onto dry ground.  Same God, different method.

Joshua 3:17 says and the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.  

If God did it for one, He could do it for another.   He is definitely able to do it again. The children of Israel were literally between a rock and a hard place, but God opened the Red Sea by the hand of Moses.  Joshua and the children of Israel needed God to intervene as they faced the Jordan River, and God did just that.  The Jordan River opened for Joshua just as the Red Sea did for Moses.  And guess what, Saints of God, Hebrews 13:8 says:   Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.   Malachi 3:6 says: For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.  If God did it for one, He could do it for another, for He is definitely able to do it again.  

So, what is your Red Sea experience or your Jordan River need tonight?  Is It Sickness?  God is a healer.  Is it despair due to the death of a loved one or the pain of divorce?  God can heal your broken heart.  Is it financial debt?  God can give everyone in your department a raise so you can have debt relief.  Whatever your unique need may be, remember that God can do anything.   Put your faith and trust in Him, and He will bring it to pass.  

Isn’t it wonderful that we never have to be jealous or resentful when we see God moving in our brothers’ or sisters’ lives?  And why is that true?  We already know the answer.  It is because if God did it for one, He could do It for another, for He is definitely able to do it again.

Let us pray:  Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that we can lean on and depend on You for everything.  We do not need to worry or fret in any situation because of Your infinite power, mercy, and grace.  Thank You because all of our needs are met in You.  I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.  Amen.
