Exodus 14:15 And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.

There are situations that may seem bigger and stronger than your mental abilities, but the Lord will allow you to face them, so that you can trust more. What defeat you today is actually toughening your resistance for winning. If you chickened out today, you lose by default tomorrow. 

The question above reveals something about our life's warfare, the fact that God said to Moses "why are you crying to me"? It was God who led them out by instructions and now telling Moses not to cry to Him for their challenge. The Pharaoh's warriors behind and the red Sea in front, who wouldn't cry to God in this situation. 

Think about the storm and the disciples of Jesus, the same approach, they cry to Jesus. He woke up as said to them "why are you fearful"? It means some challenges in life are mirage, don't fret, go forward towards the promise land. God told Moses, stretch forth your rod, which is a symbol of the word. Speak to that sea, that mountain, you will be amazed at the outcome. 

Exodus 14:16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

You are the one to divide the sea, don't keep quiet, speak the word.
