Then they turned against Moses
and complained, "Why did you bring us
out here to die in the wilderness?
Weren't there enough graves for us
in Egypt? Why did you make us leave?”
As the Israelites were being led out of Egypt by Moses, they found themselves at a dead end and cornered in by the Red Sea to their front, mountains and wilderness to their left and to their right, and the ferocious soldiers of Egypt quickly closing in for the kill at their rear. They had reached a very real "dead end." Years ago, an S4 submarine was accidentally rammed by another ship and quickly sank. The entire crew was trapped in what looked to be their tomb. A rescue diver placed his helmeted ear to the side of the sunken vessel and heard someone tapping out a question in Morse code. The question came very slowly: “Is... there... any... hope?” If you read Exodus 14:2, you’ll see that it was God who led the Israelites to what appeared to be a supposed “dead end.” God’s words to Moses were, "Tell the people to march. Camp there along the shore, opposite Baal-zephon.” Baal-zephon means God’s hidden treasure. So what happened to the Israelites? In God's perfect time, they walked across a parted Red Sea on dry ground to safety. Just when they thought they were cornered in at a dead end, they were granted Baal-zephon. How do you react when you've been obedient to the Lord, but reach a dead end? Do you live like you've been cornered in or do you live like you're about to be blessed with Baal-zephon?

AMEN! We sometimes get concerned but we know that there's GOD who will help us on every step that we take. GOD BLESS TO EVERYONE, we miss you pastor
amen!!!
Sometimes God corners us to see if we trust him, but when the istraelites reached the dead end, they suddenly lost hope... but Joseph still trusted GOD, by raising his staff he showed his faith in GOD and knows that GOD will save them..AMEN:D
Feeling cornered only means that God is challenging how much faith you have in him. No matter what, God always has a way out; in the end, it is your choice whether to choose that broad road you see or that narrow path that God has put.
This really helped me. Thankss!
<33GOD.
