“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord….The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:13-14).
The children of Israel were on their way out of Egypt, yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he gathered his chariots and pursued after them. The children of Israel had no way of defending themselves, as they had been a nation of slaves. But the Lord was on their side, and Moses quieted their fears by telling them simply to “stand still,” for the Lord would fight for them. So it happened, for the Lord first of all took off the chariot wheels of the Egyptians, and then caused the Red Sea to come in and drown them all. But the children of Israel walked through on dry land.
This can sometimes happen in our lives, when problems mount up, and we have no way of dealing with them ourselves. Then the Lord tells us simply to trust Him, to stand still, and let Him work. It is wonderful to see this, for the Lord can change our circumstances so easily, and deliver us from an impossible situation. Then He gets the glory for it.
