"To human thinking it was simply impossible, but nothing is hard for God. Without a sound or sign, from sources invisible and apparently impossible, the floods came stealing in all night long; and when the morning dawned, those ditches were flooded with crystal waters and reflecting the rays of the morning sun from the red hills of Edom . . . It is not the part of faith to question, but to obey. The ditches were made, and the water came pouring in from some supernatural source. What a lesson for our faith!"

While on youtube after Christmas, a song popped up in my suggested videos which I hadn't heard in years. I then realized that a cover of it was on Pentatonix's new album.
"When You Believe," from the movie, "The Prince of Egypt," is sung by the characters of Miriam and Tzippora as they depart Egypt and head towards the Red Sea. It's such a moving song. The version which is sung by Michelle Pfeiffer and Sally Dworsky in the film is pretty and unadorned. The pop duet by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey packs a powerful punch. Pentatonix's version, which features Marin Morris, offers a bit of a different take, and is kind of a middle ground, stylistically, between the other two versions.

After coming upon this song, I noticed that Steven Furtick was doing a sermon series which is based on the parting of the Red Sea.

"Oh, for faith that can act by faith and not by sight, and expect God to work although we see no wind or rain."
