God's got your back

THE TEN TRIALS - THE RED SEA
Hebrews 3:8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested Me and tried Me, and saw My works for forty years.
Numbers 14:22 All these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice,
THE PURPOSE OF THE TRIALS Deuteronomy 8:2 And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to test you, and to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
Israel had to be humbled, tested, and shown their heart. This deals with the pride (independence), rebellion (passive resistance), and deception (believing the lie) that are the marks of the flawed human nature of man.
TRIAL NO. 1 CROSSING THE RED SEA - And Israel’s reaction to their first challenge of faith:
Exodus14:11 Have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us this way, to bring us up out of Egypt? Didn’t you hear what we told you in Egypt (independence), saying, “Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’?(passive resistance) For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than for us to die in the wilderness.”(believing a lie)

Even though the angel of death had passed over Israel, they could not trust God for their lives. They had no concept of a loving, protective God (400 years without a Word). The first trial of faith for a Christian is to see the hand of God upon our lives in working all things together for our spiritual and emotional good.
The Word comes through Moses
Exodus 14:13-16 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation (Jesua) of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”And the Lord said to Moses, “Why cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

Israel had to learn to stand still and see the salvation (Jesua) of God, while God acted supernaturally on their behalf. Then it was time to move forward. There was no going back, because God has our back.
Exodus 14:19 …and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.
The spirit of darkness cannot see into the light of our hearts, lit by the Spirit of God. The devil does not know your mind or your heart (2Chronicles 6:30), but he can watch and listen, so we must be careful what we say and do as we move forward in faith in God. God is the one that fights for us.

Vs. 24 Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

1Corinthians 10:1 I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
