"And Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.'" v.13
Read chapter 14
The very same day that they are freed form slavery in Egypt they complain about dying in the wilderness and wishing they would've stayed in slavery. How often do we do the same thing? Once we are free from our slavery to a specific sin, we're quick to think it wasn't "that bad" or "something bad is now going to happen, " that "its too good to be true." Yet Moses doesn't respond to their complaint in anger but in the Lord's comfort. And the most comforting thing to be comforted within the Saving Grace of the Lord. Jesus Christ has paid our sins to save us from everlasting death that we may be free indeed and no longer slaves to sin once and for all. So why do we turn back? Fear? Doubt? Distrust? So what have you turned back to in slavery? When can you learn to respond like Moses when met with complaining and comparison?
