Good morning, Pastor John;
While going through the Old Testament course (Old Testament Course (Pt. 1) – Going to Jesus.com), I came upon this reading in Exodus 14:
- Then the Egyptians made pursuit and went in after them—all of the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen—into the middle of the sea.
- And it came to pass, on the morning watch, Jehovah looked down upon the host of Egypt through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and He troubled the host of the Egyptians.
- And He removed the wheels of their chariots so that they could hardly drive. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them, against Egypt!”
I thought this was so good! I didn’t remember seeing in previous Old Testament classes that Jehovah was watching the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and the cloud and He removed the wheels off the chariots because Pharaoh’s army would certainly have overtaken the Israelites within a short time. The Spirit brought to my attention what He spoke to me in your doorway in 2001, “I have heard your prayers from the past ten years, and not one has escaped my ears.” Jesus gave me the thought, “I was watching (out) for you, and when you were about to be overtaken, I removed the wheels from off the chariots that were pursuing you.” After that thought, I had a scene of me walking through a sea on dry land while my pursuers drowned. When God did that for me in 2001, I now have no more pursuers — only Canaan’s land is just in sight, as the song goes.
I love finding the little gems that I overlooked in times’ past. Every nugget is valuable.
