When the Egyptians were closing in and the Israelites were losing hope (Exodus 14), Moses told them, “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.”
Imagine if the Israelites ignored Moses and tried to fight the Egyptians themselves. Imagine if they ran into the sea for refuge without God parting the water. There are times in my life when I must allow God to do the work. It may be more than I could handle alone and it may be that God wants to shine in the situation Himself.
When I am still and silent in faith and humility, God can step in and be my defender and all the glory is His.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will act. He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:5-6
