It’s a memorial one doesn’t forget about after seeing it. And we mustn’t forget those names on the wall and their sacrifices.

The Channel Tunnel opened on May 6, 1994, nearly two centuries after it was first proposed in 1802 by Napoleons engineer, Albert Mathieu. Today the 31-mile passage beneath the English Channel allows thousands of people, cars, and trucks to travel by train each day between England and France. For centuries, people had sailed across the Channel until this surprising new way to go under it was completed.
God planned an unexpected route for His people tooone we read about in Exodus 14:10-22. Faced with certain death, either from Pharaohs army or by drowning, the Israelites were near panic. But God parted the Red Sea and they walked through on dry land. Years later, the psalm writer Asaph used this event as evidence of Gods mighty power, Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty watersa pathway no one knew was there! You led Your people along that road like a flock of sheep, with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds (Ps. 77:19-20 nlt).
God can create roads where we see only obstacles. When the way ahead of us seems uncertain, its good to remember what God has done in the past. He specializes in pathways in any circumstancepathways that point us to His love and power.
