Don’t Be Afraid.

Just Stand Still And 

Watch The Lord Rescue You Today.

Scripture

Exodus 14

¹³ But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. ¹⁴ The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”

Escape through the Red Sea

¹⁵ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!

 ¹⁶ Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground.
 
¹⁷ And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will charge in after the Israelites. My great glory will be displayed through Pharaoh and his troops, his chariots, and his charioteers.

 ¹⁸ When my glory is displayed through them, all Egypt will see my glory and know that I am the Lord!”

Observation

The Hebrew children were trapped and the Egyptian army was closing in on them and they were afraid. They had nowhere to go. They were trapped and it seemed hopeless. I love what their leader Moses told them, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today … the Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.

When the situation seems totally impossible, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today.” 

As I read through the Bible again in 2013 I will read over and over again, “Don’t be afraid!” Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today.” It is a theme that repeats itself over and over and over again through out God’s word. 

Don’t believe me? Listen to this from the book of Acts from today’s Bible reading,
“I see that the Lord is always with me.
 
    I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” Acts 2:25b

Fear is a lack of faith. 

It is a lack of trust. 

We are commanded not to be afraid! 

 Application

 I will trust in the Lord today. I will not be afraid. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, the Hebrew children experienced a miracle that day when You opened up the Red Sea and allowed them to go across on dry ground. I have experienced Your Power in my life too. I know that I don’t need to be afraid. Help those today that are struggling with life. Help them to put their faith and trust in You. Help them not to be afraid.
