Encouragement For the Day: Exodus 14:14

One of my favorite verses in all of scripture is Exodus 14:14:

"The LORD will fight for you, you need only to be still." 

This verse is followed in scripture by the story of God parting the Red Sea for Moses and the Israelites as they outrun Pharaoh and his Egyptian army.

If you know the end of the story, then you know that God did fight for the Israelites. Pharaoh's army was swallowed by the very sea that was parted as safe passage for the Israelites to escape.

I know there Egyptians in your life right now. They're pursuing you. They're charging at you. They're trying to engage in a battle that you know you will lose if you fight on your own.

Take heart, God is your greatest ally. He will fight for you.

You need only to be still. To be motionless. To be stationary. To remain calm.

When the battle is over, you will clearly see that God is faithful and good. His word can be counted on. Rescue is coming.

Be still,
