"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14
Some challenges are so great that our only hope is to be still and trust the Lord. The Israelites were hemmed in, or at least this is what they thought and Pharaoh hoped. Pharaoh's army stood on one side; the sea was on the other. But between them was the Lord. Moses knew the truth; God would always show Himself to be faithful.
Father, the challenges of life seem so great. I fear the enemy's army. I fear the sea of my sin that has hemmed me in for so long. Can I defeat the enemy? Can I make a path of escape? Without You - NO! With You - no challenge is too great.
Lord, help me to trust You. There are seas to cross and mountains to climb before the Promised Land will come into view.
Help me to be still.
