15Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the Israelites to go forward. 16And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. Then I will gain honor by means of Pharaoh and all his army and chariots and horsemen. 18The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
I pray you enjoy these quotes as much as I did. I am not an eloquent person and their words speak well of these verses.
“There is a time for praying, but there is also a time for holy activity. Prayer is adapted for almost every season, yet not prayer alone, for there comes, every now and then, a time when even prayer must take a secondary place.” (Spurgeon)
“There is something more to be done than to pray. We must not only crave God’s help, but be forward in the course whereby to make way for God’s help.” (Trapp)
“There is a favourite sin, of which he has long been guilty; he does not give it up, but he says that he will pray about it. God says to such a man, ‘“Where fore criest thou unto me?” Give up thy sin; this is not a matter for thee to pray about, but to repent of.’ The man says, “I was asking for repentance.” Ask, if thou wilt, for repentance, but exercise it as well.” (Spurgeon)
“Neither Moses nor his rod could be any effective instrument in a work which could be accomplished only by the omnipotence of God; but it was necessary that he should appear in it, in order that he might have credit in the sight of the Israelites, and that they might see that God had chosen him to be the instrument of their deliverance.” (Clarke)
How many times have we’ve been inactive when the Lord moved us to be active?
Spurgeon’s quote says it well, “but exercise it as well”!
Who likes to exercise? Get up and perform some holy activity!
Blessings, David

Some say God revealed Himself in Christ. Let’s correct their supposition, He revealed Himself AS Christ. (A.W. Tozer)
