13. He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through. When the waters were divided the bottom of the sea would naturally have
been in a very unfit state for the passage of so vast a host as that of Israel;
it would have been impassable had not the Lord made the road for his people. And he made the waters to stand as an heap. He forbade a drop to fall upon his
chosen; they felt no spray from the crystal walls on either hand. Fire will
descend and water stand upright at the bidding of the Lord of all. The nature
of creatures is retained or altered at the will of him who first created them.
The Lord can cause those evils which threaten to overwhelm us to suspend their
ordinary action, and become innocuous to us.
