God's Past Is Your Hope

All commentators agree that this verse recalls God's miraculous parting of the Red Sea. This isn't just a history lesson; it's the foundation for faith. As John Calvin states, the purpose is to show that 'God will always be like himself.' His past deliverance of Israel from Egypt serves as a firm guarantee that He has the power and willingness to save His people from their current and future troubles.
