Exodus 13:1-14:31
God didn't want them to return to Egypt, this meant He led them to the sea and when they had crossed they couldn't get back.
God will fight for you, you only need to stand still. I can often try and fight for God and not let Him do it.
It took all night to drive the sea back-it wasn't done in an instance.
Matthew 27:45-66
The temple curtain was ripped into two, and still is! We have access into the holy place because of Jesus' death.
Proverbs 4:20-27

God is God
Job 38:1-40:2

Don't look at people who are doing wrong and want what theyhave-stay with God and in his ways
