The LORD
Himself
Will Fight For You. Just Stay Calm
It seemed totally hopeless for the children of Israel as they were trapped by the Red Sea with no way to escape the Egyptian army. It seemed hopeless. It was an impossible situation! Maybe you are caught in that kind of situation this morning. Maybe your situation right now seems hopeless and you can’t see a way out. Maybe you feel trapped with no way of escape.
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.”
Observation
It
seemed totally hopeless for the children of Israel as they were trapped by the
Red Sea with no way to escape the Egyptian army. It seemed hopeless.
It
was an impossible situation! Maybe you are caught in that kind of situation
this morning. Maybe your situation right now seems hopeless and you can’t see a
way out.
Maybe
you feel trapped with no way of escape. Then this story most definitely is for
you.
In
fact, God has placed story after story after story in the Bible showing us that
we can trust Him when life seems impossible.
Every day you and I are being tested. Will we
walk by faith? Will we whine and complain and get angry with God or will we
walk by faith and trust our Heavenly Father. Today is a test. “Don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today.”
“The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”
2 Corinthians 5:7
Our life is lived by faith. We do not live by what we see in front of us. NLV
Application
I will walk by faith and not by sight today! How about
you?
Our life is lived by faith. We do not live by what we see in front of us.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, everyday seems like it is a test for us. At least it seems that way for
me. I am challenged everyday to live my life by faith and not to live my life
influenced by what I see or at least by what I think I see in front of me. The
children of Israel saw the Red Sea and were filled with dread. Then they saw
You turn the Red Sea into a super highway built just for them. You were trying
to get them to walk by faith. Over and over and over again You tried to show
them that You would take care of them. Don’t let me be that hardheaded. Give me
Your eyes and Your heart so I can walk in obedience and so that I can walk by
faith.
