Evidence! I walk by faith!

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. Ex 14:26-28
Nine years ago a discovery was made in the area of the Red Sea. I never heard about it until this morning with a new discovery, or a re-discovery and movie made about the Red Sea crossing of the Hebrews.
It seems the coral in the area has an unnatural formation, which could be seen as chariot wheels and axles.
One such wheel is made of gold, to which coral will not grow.
However the Egyptian government will not allow artifacts to be removed from the area and so a surface analysis is impossible.
I really don’t need so much evidence to come to surface to prove to me that God’s word is true.
I know what Jesus has done and is doing in my life.
That alone adds substantial evidence to something else the Bible says; for we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Cor 5:7
I am glad there are archeologists seeking to prove the existence of Biblical accounts, but the world is not going to accept whatever proof they dig up.
As Jesus told the rich man in hell, “If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.” Luke 16:31
If they will not listen to “the Bible” then they won’t believe even if one has been raised from the dead. And One has been raised from the dead – Jesus!
I know I was not persuaded because someone found the ark, or located a tomb. I was persuaded when I heard God’s word and realized I was a sinner in need of salvation. I then asked His forgiveness for my sin, trusting in His redemption to save me.
Rom 10:17 – faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

One thought on “Evidence! I walk by faith!

  1. It wasn’t untill long after I received Christ that I learned proof was out there, in the world, of God’s Word. As a babe in Christ when I read my Bible I understood little, but I realized, & believed, that God wanted me to know these things. So I believed what I read. Through serching, praying, and listening to the preacher I continue to learn the meaning. In the book of Ruth, do you know what it means when a shoe is taken off & given to the other person? And sense Adam & Eve had only three sons, only children mentioned, where did all the other people come from? God Him self answers my questions as I read, & listen. I don’t need physical proof.
