“So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.”
Exodus 14:22
Running late for a meeting, I still had to drop my son off at school. At a busy intersection, traffic was overwhelming; no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't cross.
I thought of the Israelites at the Red Sea—trapped and unable to cross until the Lord divided the waters. “And [God] made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground” (Exodus 14:21-22).
Briefly, I closed my eyes and prayed, "God, as You made a way through the Red Sea, please clear this traffic so I can make it to my meeting on time."
When I opened my eyes, the scene had changed completely. The traffic that moments earlier felt overwhelming had vanished, and the intersection lay open before me. I crossed without hesitation and continued on to the school, my heart overflowing with gratitude. As I drove, I quietly sang the words of a song by Don Moen:
“God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me.”1
After crossing the intersection, I glanced in my rearview mirror. The road was busy again, just as it had been moments before.
God truly had made a way for me.
I dropped my son off at school and arrived at work just in time for my meeting. Grateful and overwhelmed, I praised the Lord, the One who makes a way where there seems to be no way.
That experience reminded me that God is not limited by what we see. He still intervenes in the small, ordinary details of our daily lives.
When we face situations that seem impossible—whether great or small—He remains able to make a way. “With God nothing will be impossible” (Luke 1:37).
Call to Action
If you find yourself at your own “Red Sea” today, remember to call on the Lord, trust in Him, and intentionally take a step forward in faith. No matter the challenge, rely on God's guidance to lead you through. He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever—and He still makes a way where there seems to be no way.
Think about a situation where you need to trust God right now. Take a moment to pause and pray, then choose to believe and take that first step forward in faith—watch for God to move in your circumstances.
