Exodus 14:25-31
Excerpted from: Baptized in the Sea

Maybe the most significant thing that is in that entire chapter (at least to this sermon) is in the very last sentence, especially the last part. "The people feared the LORD, and believe the LORD and His servant Moses." This is interesting. Once Israel experienced their deliverance from the Egyptians, they saw their enemy totally destroyed. They saw them wash up on the seashore there. They saw this tremendous miracle that God had worked for them. Then, they were ready to fear and believe. That is to give the proper respect and reverence to God, and to believe God and Moses. It was not just God. It was Moses too. God was there, but Moses was the one they were following. They saw Moses.

Exodus 14:27-31
Excerpted from: Escape From Box Canyon

That is kind of interesting. It seems as if they got confused—which God said they did—and they were fleeing the wrong direction. That is the only thing that I could think of—He so confounded them, they did not know which way to go.

Because God wanted to have honor and victory over Egypt, He tells Moses to work the miracle in the other direction. And unrestrained, millions (or, billions) of gallons of water came crashing back! It smashed the Egyptian army to smithereens. All the men died. All the horses died. And, evidently, many of them washed up on the shore; and this is what armed Israel, for their wars with Amalek (that came on, later on) and later other wars.

Exodus 14:29-31
Excerpted from: The Great Work the Lord Has Done!

In addition to fear of the Lord, Exodus 14:31 tells us that Israel learned to believe the Lord, and that they began to have faith in the Lord. It took all of those visible miracles to bring them to that point, and no doubt them both fearing God in a terrifying way, as well as fearing God in a reverencing way as well, to come to this point of believing, and actually having faith in Him.

So the Israelites "feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses." They had tremendous respect and a proper fear of God, because of what they had seen Him do for them; and they finally believed that what He said, He meant!
