5When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”
6So Pharaoh prepared his chariot and took his army with him. 7He took 600 of the best chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt, with officers over all of them.
8And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out with fists raised in defiance. 9The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, horsemen and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon.
“This is not merely his personal chariot. The meaning is probably ‘his chariotry’, a collective.” (Cole)
“fists raised in defiance”!
Who was the army raising their fists in defiance to?
Answer, the Lord!
Satan pursues us constantly like the pharaoh with fists raised in defiance, because he doesn’t like to loose!
And when we give in to the sin, Satan wins and we loose.
Can we also say; our fists (are) raised in defiance to the Lord?
Anytime we sin we are defying the Lord’s will for us.
Do you have a secret sin in your life?
On the day of judgement it won’t be a secret anymore!
Blessings, David
