Psalm
77:19 NLT, “Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty
waters—a pathway no one knew was there!”
What impressed me? “… a pathway no one knew was there!”
In KJV quote, “… and thy footsteps are not known.” Let’s read Psalm 77:16 NLT,
“When the Red Sea saw you, O God, its waters looked and trembled! The sea
quaked to its very depths.”
Psalm 77:19 in KJV says, “Thy way is in the sea, and thy
path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.” Psalm 77:20 tells
us in NLT, “You led your people along that road like a flock of sheep with
Moses and Aaron as their shepherds.”
When God led Moses and His Israelite people to go to the
Red Sea between two mountains, it was the right place that only God knew the
special pathway for the people to cross over easily. God parted the Red Sea and
they walked through on dry land. So God planned an unexpected route for His
people. They never thought that there was a way out of troubles, but God did. Miriam
led her people to dance and sang songs of victories what Almighty God had done.
A story was about Napoleon’s engineer, Albert Mathieu
during 1802, he proposed the 31-mile passage beneath the English Channel allows
travel by train each day between England and France. Nearly two centuries (192
years), people had sailed across the Channel until this surprising new way to
go under the Tunnel was completed and opened on May 6, 1994. One could imagined
people’s delight by taking a train which was much faster than sailing across
the Channel between England and France.
“A pathway no one knew was there.” What does it means
for us? God can create roads where we see only obstacles (something that stands
in the way). When the way ahead of us seems uncertain, what should we do? It is
good to remember what God has done in the past. He specializes in pathways in
any circumstance—pathways that point us to His love and power.
So doesn’t this makes you want to trust our loving God
even more?
SONG:
LET GO AND LET GOD
Let go and let God have His wonderful way,
Let go and
let God have His way;
Your burdens will vanish,
your night turn to day:
Let go and let God have His way …
