Daily Scripture: Stand Firm



So many times we get so afraid, it feels like our enemies, our problems in life and everything else is closing in on us, catching up to us to take us over, but God says simply be still.  God will deliver you from your enemies and your problems in a way that you've never seen before.  Just when you get to a place where it look like you can't go any further, just when it looks like the enemy is surely going to catch up to you, God says be still and let me fight. When you reach a roadblock, a Red Sea in your life, know that God will deliver you, it may not be as dramatic as the parting of the Red Sea, but it will be in a way you thought was impossible. God will get you through to the other side.  Once God gets you to the other side he will wash away all of the enemies, problems, issues you felt like was closing in on and the enemies or problems you see today you will not see again. Be still and let the Lord fight for you. 

13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them. And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”
~Exodus 14:13-18
