Today, we begin our new devotional series on Bold Believing in the Face of Opposition, and we start with one of the most defining moments in Biblical history—a moment where bold believing rose above fear.

Bold believing doesn’t wait for perfect conditions; it often rises in the midst of pressure, uncertainty, and overwhelming odds.

Have you ever felt completely trapped, surrounded by pressure, with no way out in sight? That’s exactly where the children of Israel found themselves—pressed between Pharaoh’s chariots and the Red Sea.For over 400 years, the Israelites had been enslaved in Egypt. After God sent ten devastating plagues and finally broke Pharaoh’s resistance, the Israelites were allowed to leave. But as they journeyed out, Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued them with his army. Israel had no weapons, no military training, and no clear escape. Mountains flanked them, the sea blocked them, and the world’s most powerful army closed in behind them. From every earthly vantage point, they were outnumbered and outmatched. But this was precisely where God wanted to show His power.

Scripture:Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.– Exodus 14:13 (KJV)
