Exodus 14:30-31 (ESV Strong's)
Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
Subject: God's Power
When the children of Israel saw God's power they feared the Lord!! When the other nations saw God's power they feared the Lord!!
Exodus 15:15-16 (ESV Strong's)
Now are the chiefs of Edom dismayed;
trembling seizes the leaders of Moab;
all the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
Terror and dread fall upon them;
because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone,
till your people, O Lord, pass by,
till the people pass by whom you have purchased.
In our world today we have so many who don't fear the Lord. The reason is because they don't see the power of the Lord. Today God does not part the Red Sea to show His power. Today God enables believers to love the unlovable; forgive the unforgivable; and to have peace in the midst of the unimaginable. Today the power of God is supposed to be demonstrated in the lives of the believers. Note what Paul's prayer was for himself and other Christians:
Philippians 3:10 (ESV Strong's)
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
Because we fail to have the same desire as Paul we fail to demonstrate God's power. This is why the world is what it is today! They only way they would fear the Lord is when they see the power of God in our lives, through faith in His Son.
