"Raise Your Hand and I Will Make a Way"

"Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the Lord opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind." (Exodus 14:21 NLT) This is the infamous move of faith that parted the Red Sea so that the Israelites could cross over and get away from their enemy. Even though I have heard this story a lot of times, God showed me something new and great about His response to "actions of faith". When the Israelites got to the Red Sea they prayed to God and He told them to simply "move forward" which of course took faith because of this huge obstacle that was in front of them. God gave Moses instructions to pick up his staff and raise his hand over the sea and divide the water. Now I'm almost for sure that Moses humanistic side rose up before his faith because of the staff in his hand compared to this huge sea in front of him. It was not until Moses moved on his faith that the Lord made the way through the Red Sea. All the Lord wanted was for him to move forward, pick up his staff and raise his hand over the sea and God had the rest from there. I know that we all have our different Red Seas but they're no match to our faith nor our God. Raising your hand could be simply you saying "Lord, I surrender; I can't do it no more"; or "Lord, I lift my hands in worship to You as the only One who is able to do this"; or "Lord, I lift my hands for You to anoint them to do what it is that You have called me to do". Whichever way you interpret it, just know that God will make a way whenever you decide to raise your hand. Peace, Blessings, and Favor
