Exodus 14:21 "Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back......the waters were divided"

Have any of you ever felt trapped? Have you been in a circumstance that just left you feeling like there was no way out? Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a situation that you didn't want to be in..but just by matter of circumstance, there you are..and there is seemingly no way out? I have felt that way from time to time..I guess part of the reason that we feel trapped to begin with is that we feel a loss of control..we, for whatever reason, are literally up against a wall..and no decision that we make seems to be the right decision. If we choose one direction, someone might get hurt. If we choose a different direction, we can't see the way clear to move forward... and yet staying right where we are..we find ourselves growing increasingly stagnant and even discouraged.
Beloved, I don't believe that God ever wants you to feel like there is no way out. It is true, in our own thinking, planning, reasoning, and maybe even manipulating our situation, we may not be able to see clearly what lies ahead..but there IS hope..because God DOES see the way for you. Start praying! When you can see no way in your current mess, simply start praying.
Imagine how the children of Israel felt, trying to flee from the Egyptian army. They arrived at the Red Sea with Pharoah's forces on their tails..they must have been thinking..now what? Most likely, they had some pretty serious moments of discouragement, looking from one direction to another..and realizing..there was no place for them to go.
But then God stepped in, and split the Red Sea to permit their crossing. Do you think that any of them even considered the sea parting as an option? Then to top that off, as they crossed the sea, with the Egyptians still close behind them, the sea closed and suddenly, the enemy that had been hounding them was gone. I can remember so many times when I was praying for an answer, I found myself giving God advice..telling Him what He could do to remedy my situation..and most of those times, when the answer came, it wasn't even on the "list" that I had cleverly given to God..it didn't even come in any way that I could have imagined.
Beloved, when you are up against a wall, and there is no way out..PRAY! You may not see the way to go forward, but God does. Think today of the powerful provision and protection evidenced in the story of the Israelites..and know that God can do the same for you. You may have come to the end of what you know to do, but God's ways are limitless!
