Past That Pursues You | Deliver Us: From the Lord Comes Deliverance

Exodus 14:5-31 | The Exodus was one of the greatest stories of deliverance of all time. However, it did not take long for two things to happen after God brought his people out of Egypt. First, Israel learned dessert life would not be as easy as they thought. Then, the past became more attractive than the present. At the same time, the soldiers of Egypt were sent to bring them back. Both inside and out, they were being pursued by their past. Letting go of the past is one thing. Getting the past to let go of us is another. Rather than healing wounds, time often causes us to rewrite how we got them. Sometimes even a bad past can seem more desirable than a difficult present. When that happens, we need God’s deliverance all over again.
