Jethro said in Exodus 18:11 to Moses "Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly."
Israel has just been led out from Eygpt. The land of bondage to Israel. Pharoh, the most powerful king on Earth in the days of Moses. Yet before God, no powers of this Earth can withstand an all mighty God.
The Eygptian hearts definitely waxed with fear for they knew they were fighting a God who would not be defeated for it is a battle of Yahweh. God's name.
This victory brought Moses' Father in law to a cocnlusion. God is great. God is real. God's favour is on His own people. Israel had suffered greatly under the hand of Israel but the hand of God that brought this complete delivery from Eygpt, stands true in every heart of every Israelite that day that witness the 10 plauges and the crossing of the Red Sea, my God is great. No heart can proclaim that unless the deliverer makes the deliverance great.
Life trouble, no matter how sinking deep it is cannot be more inviting towards God's rock solid foundation. On grace you stand. On love you stand. In Christ, you live.
That is the marvel of resurrection. You live Christ as Christ live in you. No earthly foe, setback and even death which the preultimate end of all men, can seperate you from a love that God has set upon you before the foundation of this world.
Listen to Jethro. Listen to this man's words and echo it through your life. Your God is great. God is with you. No enemies can win. Only God will. He is with you.
