See the Salvation of the Lord: Finding Hope in the Torah

Hi, I’m Shirah Chante, Relationship Artist, guiding you on this journey I call the Perfect Body Podcast. We’re diving deep into the Torah today, and I couldn’t be more excited to have you along. I’ve always believed in the power of the Bible, a force so powerful, it shapes the way I view the world, every single day.

Connecting with God Through His Word

When you open the Bible, you’re inviting the presence of God into your life. It’s one of the most direct ways we can connect with Him. In this age of digital wonders, there are so many ways to immerse yourself in His word. Whether you’re reading a physical copy, listening to an audio version, or even studying topics within, there’s no wrong way to start. Just a single verse a day can transform your life, offering wisdom that outlasts any motivational book.

Exploring Exodus and the Parting of the Red Sea

I’m focusing on the book of Exodus today, specifically starting with chapter 13, verse 17. This is where God leads the Israelites out of Egypt for good. This is the point when destiny is fulfilled through persistence and faith. It may not always be easy, but the beauty lies in the journey God has planned for each of us.

A Story of Courage and Divine Intervention

This passage of scripture, where God parts the Red Sea, is one you’ve probably heard before. Maybe you’ve seen it dramatized in films like “The Prince of Egypt.” It’s a tale of courage, faith, and divine intervention. Moses tells the Israelites, who are frightened by Pharaoh’s approaching army, to “Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” Now imagine this powerful image, Moses’ rod held high above the waters as the sea lines up in formation like a rank of army cadets on either side creating a dry path for the children of Israel to walk through.

Miracles in Our Lives Today

Moses raises his staff, the Red Sea parts, and the Israelites walk through on dry ground. It’s a clear depiction of the miraculous power of God turning obstacles into pathways. Soon after, when Pharaoh’s army follows them, the waters return, securing Israel’s escape while totally destroying the Egyptian army. This incredible story of deliverance inspires us to believe in miracles even today.

Overcoming Personal Challenges

You might not face a literal sea to cross, but God’s miracles manifest in countless forms, freeing us from our unique bondages that attempt to devastate our lives. Whether you’re dealing with addiction, heartache, or fear, I want you to believe in the deliverance God promises. Crying out to Him is the first step. Trusting in His timing is next.

A Personal Testimony of Deliverance

I share my own story of deliverance, a challenging phase in my life when I was considering divorce. God told me three things: no divorce, you’re free, and see the salvation of the Lord. Obeying Him wasn’t easy, but He led me and my children through that turbulent time, just as He promised and delivered us from an abusive home. If you find yourself needing a breakthrough in your own marriage, I’m here to help you.

Hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit whisper in my ear at that time saved my life. I am really eager to share with you soon my new book on meditation that will explain how I got to that point of being able to clearly hear God’s voice. Hearing His voice just may be your saving grace as it was mine.

Part the Sea: A Song of Hope

I want to share a chorus from a song I wrote called Part the Sea, inspired by this very miracle. It goes like this:

Part the sea, jubilee,  

Walk on through victory.  

Watch the waters wash over the enemy,  

Part the sea.

Finding Inspiration in the Torah

I hope this glimpse into the Torah inspires you to see the miracles waiting in your life. Remember the story of Israel’s deliverance is just as relevant today as it was back then. Let it guide you, give you hope, and encourage you to see the salvation of the Lord in your own circumstances.
