The Answer WILL Come
Have your own Red Sea experience ...

Standing still: A while back, our friends were going through a challenging time. They sought the Lord about a circumstance in their lives, and they waited for His promises to come to pass. Each day, as their struggles remained unyielding and evident, they stood in
stalwart resolve that God would be faithful to perform His Word.
Moving forward: A Red Sea experience:
After months of believing, firmly anchored on God’s promises, my friends report that their challenge is over. They had come to the end of their options finding themselves like the children of God in Exodus 14:21, at the Red Sea with no where to go. Suddenly, God made a way where there was no way – a way of escape. The seas of adversity parted and they walked through the challenge unhindered.
If you are facing insurmountable obstacles, know that there is a Red Sea experience for you, too. The Bible tells us that God is no respecter of persons, meaning that he doesn’t play favorites (Acts 10:34). What He does for one, he will do for all. Just when it seems that you cannot go any further, God will provide a way. He will part the circumstances in your midst and let you
walk through to freedom. Your promised land awaits, and your faithful heavenly Father is ready to lead you to it. |

Study: Red Sea parting was possible (from The Washington Times, January 22, 2004)
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Russian mathematicians have determined the legendary parting of the Red Sea that let the Jews flee Egypt was possible, the Moscow Times reported.
The study, published in the Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences, focused on a reef that runs from the documented spot where the Jews escaped Egypt, which in Biblical times, was much closer to the surface, according to Naum Volzinger, a senior researcher at St. Petersburg's Institute of Oceanology, and a colleague based in Hamburg, Alexei Androsov.
The mathematicians calculated the "strong east wind that blew all that night" mentioned in the Bible needed to blow at a speed of 67 miles per hour to make the reef, said Volzinger, who specializes in ocean phenomena, flooding and tidal waves.
"It would take the Jews -- there were 600,000 of them -- four hours to cross the 4.2-mile reef that runs from one coast to another. Then, in half an hour, the waters would come back," he said.
The Egyptian army that followed them drowned in the sea.
"I am convinced that God rules the Earth through the laws of physics," Volzinger told the Times.
