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.”
Observation
Don't
be afraid!
It
is a phrase that runs throughout the Bible from Genesis to
Revelation. Over and over and over again God tells us not to be
afraid.
Over
and over and over again God tells us, “I've got this!”
He
is trying to drive this truth deep into our hearts because it is a
truth that we desperately need. We live in a crazy world, a world
that seems to be dead set against us.
I
don't know what battle you are fighting today, but here is what God's
Word says, “Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord
rescue you today. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay
calm.”
The
very same God who parted the Red sea so His children could walk
across on dry ground is the same God who will take care of you and He
will also take care of me!
Application
I
will look up and meditate on verses of scripture that tell me not to
be afraid. How about you? Here are a few:
Isaiah
41:10
Don’t
be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your
God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my
victorious right hand.
Isaiah
35:4
Say
to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, and do not fear,
for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save
you.”
Romans
8:38
And
I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s
love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither
our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even
the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
2
Timothy 1:7
For
God has not given
us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and
self-discipline.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You have shown me in Your Word that You will take care of me
and that You will take care of Your children. Help me to walk by
faith and not be afraid. I pray for those going through very
difficult times right now. Help them to put their faith and their
trust in You and in all of Your promises. Help them to not be afraid.
Give them strength today. Show them that You are in control. Show
them that You will take care of them.
