Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.

… This is a test. Now, Psalm 77 verse 19 is actually a verse about Moses. You remember the story of the Ten Commandments when Charlton Heston stood up there and he put this thing in the water and the Nile turned red and all the different miracles and things like that. And when finally Pharaoh said after 10 miracles and all those miracles were making fun of false gods, Pharaoh finally says, okay, you can go. and so a million Jews are leaving and they're heading across to go across the Sinai Peninsula and all of a sudden they come up to a little cul-de-sac and they're standing with mountains on either side the Red Sea in front of them which looks impassable and Pharaoh has changed his mind and the army's coming after him and back so they're hemmed in and they go, we're gonna be slaughtered. We got mountains on either side, we got an ocean in front of us and we've got Pharaoh's armies and they're armed and we have no arms and they're coming after us. …
… Can you stand for one verse? It's in Psalm 77, verse 19. I'll read this and then work backward from there to give you the message for today. The Lord is going to help us in some remarkable ways. Psalm 77, verse 19. The psalmist says to God, Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. Isn't that a beautiful scripture? The Lord really used that in my life, and I believe he wants to use it in yours. Really underrated Scripture too. Maybe it'll be your favorite at the end of today. He says, "'Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.'" Just turn to the person next to you and tell them, "'Even if you don't see it, God is working.'" Even if you don't feel it, God is working. Let's put our hands together and praise the waymaker in this place. Come on, praise the waymaker in this place. …
"I cried unto God... You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron." Psalm 77:1-20. THIS Psalm describes the condition of a child of God under deep depression of spirit. He is much tried and bowed, and yet, at the same time, the saint at last gets the victory and, before the Psalm is over, the clouds are all removed from the sky and the heart rejoices in the sunlight of Divine Love. It is known to every Believer that the experience of a Christian is very variable. We are like our own strange weather in this land. South winds blow and all is warm and balmy, but in a few hours the north wind comes, or the cutting east wind—and soon the ground is covered with snow or hard white frost—and yet, perhaps, in another day or two there will be a storm! Some Believers have all spiritual weathers in a week. Being somewhat excitable, perhaps naturally, they readily take to themselves wings and mount aloft, but then as a high soar is often followed by a great fall, these very Believers are soon sighing and crying out of the very depths and half doubt whether they are the people of God at all! Nor must I say that is common to merely excitable people. Some of the very noblest heroes in the Christian army have had a very dark experience to go through. If you read the life of Martin Luther, of whom we may well say that never braver soldier fought beneath the banner of the Cross, you will find him the subject of the most terrible exercises. He was strong in his God, but he was very weak in himself—subject to ferocious temptations—temptations the like of which probably few of us have ever known because we are not men of his gigantic mold, and God does not allow trials to come upon us which were only suitable for him. He oftentimes seemed to lie at Hell's gates, but then, again, the man seemed as if he had looked Heaven in the face and lived in perpetual communion with his God! …
