We see here how that God has already delivered His people from Egypt (sin) and now they are encamped with the sea in front of them and the Egyptian army behind them. God will deliver you from Egypt, but the enemy is determined to get you back.
It is interesting how that a new convert's biggest attack from the enemy is to cause question to their conversion. As soon as you make a mistake or do something wrong that thought comes charging into your mind; (your aren't really saved or you wouldn't have done that). I learned years ago to take this situation and turn it around with the reasoning that goes like this:
Why would the enemy waste his time trying to convince you of something if it was not real? In other words; why would he waste the time trying to convince you that you are not really saved if your weren't? He already knows that and if you aren't saved then you are not a threat to him anyway. He knows that if he can get you to believe his lie that you may stop acting like you are really saved and eventually turn back to him. Once you understand this concept then this confusion will stop and you will truly understand how the enemy is so deceitful and subtle.
That doesn't mean that the attempts and attacks will stop. Once you stop the enemy's attacks in one area he will find another area and resume the attack. His whole purpose is to "steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10) you.
