The Answer WILL Come
Have your own Red Sea experience ...
Standing still: A while back, our friends
were going through a challenging time. They sought the Lord about a
circumstance in their lives, and they waited for His promises to come to
pass. Each day, as their struggles remained unyielding and evident, they
stood in stalwart resolve that God would be faithful to perform His Word.
Moving forward: A Red
Sea experience: After months of believing, firmly anchored on Gods
promises, my friends report that their challenge is over. They had come to
the end of their options finding themselves like the children of God in
Exodus 14:21, at the Red Sea with no where to go. Suddenly, God made a way
where there was no way a way of escape. The seas of adversity parted and
they walked through the challenge unhindered.
If you are facing insurmountable obstacles, know that there is a Red Sea
experience for you, too. The Bible tells us that God is no respecter of
persons, meaning that he doesnt play favorites (Acts 10:34). What He does
for one, he will do for all. Just when it seems that you cannot go any
further, God will provide a way. He will part the circumstances in your
midst and let you walk through to freedom. Your promised land awaits, and
your faithful heavenly Father is ready to lead you to it.

From a 2004 Report:
Red Sea parting was possible (from The Washington Times, January 22, 2004)
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Russian mathematicians have
determined the legendary parting of the Red Sea that let the Jews flee
Egypt was possible, the Moscow Times reported.
The study, published in the Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences,
focused on a reef that runs from the documented spot where the Jews
escaped Egypt, which in Biblical times, was much closer to the surface,
according to Naum Volzinger, a senior researcher at St. Petersburg's
Institute of Oceanology, and a colleague based in Hamburg, Alexei Androsov.
The mathematicians calculated the "strong east wind that blew all that
night" mentioned in the Bible needed to blow at a speed of 67 miles per
hour to make the reef, said Volzinger, who specializes in ocean phenomena,
flooding and tidal waves.
"It would take the Jews -- there were 600,000 of them -- four hours to
cross the 4.2-mile reef that runs from one coast to another. Then, in half
an hour, the waters would come back," he said.
The Egyptian army that followed them drowned in the sea.
"I am convinced that God rules the Earth through the laws of physics,"
Volzinger told the Times.
