Title: Tribulation and Faith/Exodus 14:10-14
Content God told the Israelites that they were slaves in Egypt for 430 years.
Hearing their supplications and outcries during the time, Moses was the leader of Israel.
Through him, the people of Israel were liberated from Egypt, and God

The Red Sea is lying across, and the Egyptian army is chasing after them.
I've run into a problem. Indeed they cannot go forward and backward
It was a real dilemma from which there was no going back.
In such a situation, the great leader of the nation of Israel that God has established
Moses spoke about how he successfully overcame this tribulation with what kind of faith.
We would like to share the grace with you as we ponder.
First, Moses firmly believed in the word of God's promise.
"Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and the
See the salvation He works for you today. the Egyptian you saw today
I will never see you again” (verse 13). This is the miracle of the Red Sea.
This is the great message Moses gave just before he was there. Moses in the midst of trouble
His faith was shaken because he firmly believed in the word of God's great promise.
I was able to get through it well without losing it. On the other hand, the Israelites

And they cried out to the LORD, and they said to Moses again, Because there are no burial places in Egypt.

Did you bring us up out of Egypt and do this to us?"

do. Call on me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver you..." (Psalm 50:15)
Second, Moses overcame it with positive and positive faith.
"The Lord will fight for you. Be still."
(14) Moses, the man of God, also suffered the same trouble as the people of Israel.
However, he was afraid of tribulation because he had positive and positive faith.
Instead, I was able to have bold faith and wanted God or man.
He was able to see the great power of God without being destroyed.
But the people of Israel had negative and passive beliefs.
In tribulation, they were afraid and perplexed, complaining and murmuring. Also
They were caught up in discouragement, despair, and frustration. We often
Two types of faith can be seen in society life. one is positive

Paul said, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
(Philippians 4:13). No matter what afflictions we face, we are
We must win with a positive belief.
Third, Moses completely surrendered all his problems before God.
I prayed.
"The LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me?
He commanded the children of Rael to go forward, and lifted up his staff, and stretched out his hands over the sea.
Push it and split it. The children of Israel walked on land in the midst of the sea
"(Exodus 14:!5,16) Moses used human methods when he was in trouble.
Instead of going to God, surrendering all your problems, and praying for afflictions
overcame. On the other hand, the Israelites, by looking at the environment,
They resented the situation they had suffered and eventually fell into disappointment and frustration.
When we are in affliction, we should not look at the circumstances, but we should stand before God like Moses.
Furthermore, we must surrender all our problems and pray. James 5:13 says, “You
Is there anyone among them who suffers? I will pray.”
11:24 “Therefore, I say to you, if anything, pray and ask
Believe that what you do is received. Then it will be yours."
I did.
Dear saints, No matter what afflictions we face while we live in this world,
Never be afraid or discouraged, just like Moses, follow the promises of God.
With strong faith and positive and positive faith, we can fully solve all problems before God.
In the name of the Lord, you may have the faith to pray and give yourself up to be victorious.
Congratulations.
