[Y]ou shall not be afraid of them but you shall remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt, the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So will the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. Moreover, the LORD your God will send hornets among them, until those who are left and hide themselves from you are destroyed. You shall not be in dread of them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.
We no longer have Pharaoh, the plagues of Egypt or the parting of the Red Sea to reveal the outstretched arm of the of the LORD. No, but His might, His power, His grace, His mercy and His love are demonstrated as effectively now as 4000 years ago. We, like the Israelites, have lost the ability, no—do not have the willingness, to look for the Hand of the LORD active among us.
