—Exodus 14:1-9
by: J. Gabriel Alegre.
This passage presents Pharaoh as a pawn on God’s chess board. Pharaoh thought he was in control and that all living beings were subject to him as ruler and god. Having decided to pursue Israel, Pharaoh set in motion the destruction of his entire army by the hand of God. Scripture tells us that God wanted the Egyptians to know that he was God! What does it take for God to remind of this same fact?
