Speaking of when the children of Israel found themselves in what looked like an impossible situation with mountains on both sides and the sea before them in Exodus 14:
"I think it is quite paradoxical that God then gives instructions for Israel to go forward (see verse 15). Forward? Where should they go, exactly? The Lord told Moses, "Lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land" (versus 16). Dry land?! Oh, yes. This would be done God's way! God's GPS wasn't broken after all. His GPS (Grace positioning system) has an ability that our GPS does not have: His GPS doesn't just guide; it creates new routes; in this case, through the sea, God would create a way out where there was no way. Never forget: the God of the Pass-over is also the God of the crossing-over."
