1.29.10 -- Exodus 14

Exodus 14

Ex 14:5 ~ I doubt the Egyptians would have forgotten the loss of their firstborn, so probably they remembered the loss, but forgot the cause.  I know that's the way most of us are at times.  I certainly have a tendency to forget that it's so often my own stubbornness that causes me to suffer, when had I listened to God's will I would have avoided such things!

Ex 14:11 ~ The Israelites are just as quick to forget God's power to save.

Ex 14:23 ~ How blinded by their own arrogance must the Egyptian army have been to have followed Israel into the sea.  They saw that the God who cleared the way for Israel was also working against Egypt, and yet they thought they could make it through.
