The Lord Will Fight For You
“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. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.’”
Exodus 14:13-14
Is there a battle in your life that you are facing right now?
The Israelites were facing quite a battle. They were fleeing Pharaoh, and the Egyptians were marching after them.
The people were terrified and cried out to the Lord (verse 10).
But Moses had such great faith and courage he responded to the people by saying, “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. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:13-14).
What a sharp contrast between the people’s perspective and Moses’ viewpoint. Moses responded to the people’s fears with faith. Moses knew the people needed to be obedient and that the Lord would come through and fight for them.
If you are facing a battle right now, know God will fight for you, you need to be still.
What do you need to trust God with today? Be still and know that He IS God. He will fight for you; you need only to be still.
Prayer: Father, thank You that You are our mighty warrior. Thank You that You go before us. Thank You that Your Word promises us that You WILL FIGHT FOR US. When we struggle with sin and doubt, You chase after us and bring us closer. Help us to open our eyes to see what You are doing and the courage to have faith that You are fighting for us and working all things out for our good. We praise You. We thank You in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
