We tend to be circumstance centric instead of being camp concentrated. The lesson we take from the Israelites trapped between the sea and the Egyptian army is a lesson in perspective. If we are focused on our circumstances, we fear. If we are focused on which camp we are in, we will have faith. When we are in the camp of God...position always trumps situations!
This is emphasized through God's command in Exodus 15:26, "If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then..."
God's grace empowers us to be free, not to liberality in sinfulness but rather strength for a life pleasing to God...a life lived in His camp!
