Talking about God's power in the time of the Israelite, we have been reminded how we often look at the biblical narratives. We recount of the events in Egypt, how God converted each of the Egyptian gods through the plague and a new layer of meaning to stories many of us learned as children.
It wasn't just about the miracle being performed or the wonders, as it was the demonstration of sovereignty in the land overflowing with so many idols and beliefs. What really have struck us the most was the emphasis on how God had already proven this existence and power long before our generation ever began asking for signs.
The crossing of the Red Sea, deliverance from slavery and defeat of Pharaoh's army, were not just that event, they were declarations on who God is. Brother Eli points are a clear indication here that sometimes we question why God doesn't prove himself, forgetting that human disbelief is not just because of lack of evidence but often because of that lack of attention.
The story in the scripture remains not as it means but recorded of history of revealing himself to humanity. In the end, the question wasn't whether God has proven himself or not, it's whether we are willing to see what is before us.
