We are not to live in yesterday’s faith. Hebrews 11:1 calls it now faith. God’s instructions to David were totally different from the first time. In 2 Samuel 5:24 he was told to wait until “…you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly…”

This is a lesson for us to totally rely on the Lord in our present impossibilities. We wait on the Lord each time, because He has the wisdom we need. Learning to be still and wait is a discipline that has to be developed. Isaiah 30:21 says, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it…”

In Exodus 14 the children were locked into an impossible situation. Pharaoh and his entire army were behind them, and the uncrossable Red Sea before them. Verse 13 says, “…Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord…”

The Lord divided the Red Sea and they walked across on dry land. When the Egyptian army followed, He took off their chariot wheels, and brought the waters back over them.
