A strange
and Interesting Bible Fact:
When the waters—circumstances of life—overwhelm
us we have a tendency to complain like the Israelites. God said to them, “Do
not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring
you today.” EX 14:13 (niv). Number
11:23, “The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short? You will now see
whether or not what I say will come true for you.”
Elijah struck the water in
II Kings 2:9. Each of the Biblical challenges happened at the water’s edge. In verses 13 and 14 we
find Elisha “stood on the bank of the Jordan.” Moses, Joshua, Elijah and Elisha
faced the chilly watery circumstances—each learned to listen to God, walk to
the water’s edge in faith, and then make the choice to move forward.
