i'm your angel

"No rivers too wide for you to make it across. All you have to do is believe it when you pray."

I imagine he stood there for a moment. Not a moment of hesitation or disbelief. But a moment of awe at what faith can reap. He was secure in his belief that he and his people had been carried out of Egypt by God, and he knew that if they believed, God would set them free. Yet still, he had to have stood there in amazement to see the fruits of faith. I believe he stopped for just a few moments as the sea parted and felt his heart soar. And I believe the people behind were more taken aback to see this man's immense faith deepen.

It is one thing to believe that a miracle can occur, and a whole other to watch it happen right in front of your eyes. Its what we all look for; some proof of God as glorious at the parting of the Red Sea. But miracles don't come in that size any longer. They manifest in the smallest moments. Non news-worthy reports.

People with faith still are the bearers of miracles. The people with the faith that life is worthy of fighting for with every breath and sinew. The people with faith in the goodness and decency of mankind. The people with the faith that their life is no better than any other man's life. The people with the faith to face their biggest fears.

So Moses got to see the Red Sea part. He walked between two walls of water. He saw what faith can do. And he told us about so that we would always remember too. Miracles happen all around us. Just maybe we're so busy looking for a sea to part that we can't see and appreciate the miracles we receive everyday.
