“Impossible Odds…Red Sea Solution”

When you’re faced with a dilemma and you feel there’s no way out Cause either direction you’re contemplating, only fuels your fear and doubt Think about the impossible odds that happened long ago When Moses reached the end of land…with nowhere left to go

The Egyptians were breathing down his neck and pursuing from behind And the people he was trying to lead were far from being kind They fussed and fumed and griped and grumbled… yes, Moses was to blame They were too absorbed in the dire straits to call Jehovah’s name

The facts were clear…but truth is greater and the truth overcame the odds And the sea obeyed the awesome power of an awesome, mighty God I can only imagine how it looked, how it felt to walk on land Right in the midst of all that water, held back by God’s own hand

The Egyptians decided to “plunge “ on in and continue with the chase But to their dismay, the water united at a very rapid pace What were the odds of the water holding, till everyone got through? The very same odds that applied to Israel…will also apply to you

For God has always made a way…when it seems like all is lost
A “Red Sea Solution” was bought for you and Jesus paid the cost Impossible odds don’t stand a chance, when you let God have control Impossible odds will lose their hold, when you trust Him…heart and soul

Start expecting the unexpected…and take the limits off of God Give Him freedom in your life…to overcome the odds You will see a majestic sight, as He holds the sea apart For the Hand that holds the water back…is the Hand that holds your heart
