You need only to be still.

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” Exodus 14:14, Berean Study Bible.

With an army of Egyptians behind them and a body of water in front of them, the Lord commanded Moses to tell the people of Israel to be still. To be still is a posture of the heart. It is a resolve of the mind to trust God and not do things in our own ability. Let’s be still, my sister. I speak stillness into the core of our being. We will see the salvation of the Lord. We will see the faithful one who has called us, do what He’s promised. We will see Him do what we have not been able to do. He will not fail us.

When our faith is being challenged, God’s command does not change. He is still saying, be still. Remember the Lord your God. Remember His saving power does more than save your soul, He saves, heals, and mightily rescues you from danger seen and unseen. It is the Lord who fights for you, my sister, and wins every time. You only need to be still.

Prayer: Father, I receive your word into my heart. You want me to be still and trust you, and I receive the help of your Holy Spirit to do just that. Calm my mind and my emotions, Father. Remove all fear and doubt. I will see your salvation. I will see your great deliverance. I will see you do for me what you’ve done for countless others. You are the same God. Just as you’ve saved before, you will save again. Just as you’ve healed before, you will heal again. Just as you’ve rescued before, you will rescue again. You are my heavenly Father who loves me, and I choose to be still. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
