The Israelites expressed their terror as they saw Pharaoh and the Egyptians pursuing them (Exod. 14:10–11). They didn’t organise a praise party. A reminder that it is easier giving thanks looking back
from a place of safety than when facing an insurmountable problem. God invites us to give thanks from a place of faith, whilst still waiting to experience a practical solution. We must pause, believe and give thanks to God (Exod. 14:13–14).
