The
LORD
Himself
Will Fight For You. Just Stay Calm
Himself
Will Fight For You. Just Stay Calm
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.”
Application
I
will walk by faith and not by sight today!
How
about you?
2 Corinthians 5:7
2 Corinthians 5:7
"Our
life is lived by faith. We do not live by what we see in front of us"
Exodus
15:1-4
Then
Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord: “I
will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has
hurled both horse and rider into the sea. The Lord is my
strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I
will praise him—my father’s God, and I will exalt him!
The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name! Pharaoh’s
chariots and army he has hurled into the sea.
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.
Lord,
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.
