FUEL - Week 3 - Exodus 13-14

This week’s FUEL study is on Exodus chapters 13-14. In this passage we see the Israelites are caught between the Egyptian Army and the Red Sea! Their backs are up against a wall! Pastor Hybel’s message this week gave us a great application of this passage. His message mentioned 3 things that tend to happen to us when our backs are against the wall:
1. We become scared
2. We get sarcastic
3. We start to think of Worst Case Scenarios

But God would rather we:
1. Fear not – for God is with us
2. Stand firm and face what is before us
3. Expect God to help

At the end of the service anyone whose back was against a wall was invited to stand to be prayed for, hundreds of people stood. There are so many people in our church and communities whose backs are up against the wall. Maybe you are one of them.

The FUEL of God’s word and time spent in it can propel you from being up against the wall to finding the deliverance God has for you.

Have a great week!

This was such a great message and it stuck with me these last few days! I have been so up against the wall and this week the message was exactly what I needed to hear.

Great blog, btw!
