The Lord Fights for Us

Scripture Exodus 14: [14] The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Observation: I like that it says the Lord will fight for you and you only need to be still. Why is being still so difficult for us. We need to be doing something , I know I sit down and read my bible I can’t get my mind to be quiet and still so I can understand the Word Of God. We feel we need to be part of the solution and that something must depend on us or why are we even here. We are here for one reason and that is to love and honor God. If we are not still then we are not obeying or trusting God to do what He has told us He will do.

Application: Practice being still. God has fought so many battles for me but I have a hard time staying on the side line and when I don’t I mess things up. Being still is saying God I trust you, when you want me call me in. There is nothing I can do or nothing that I might possess that God hasn’t given me and I need to wait on Him.

Prayer: My Lord increase my faith and give me the patience I need to be obedient to you. Show me how to be still and wait until you give me instructions and when you fight for me help me stay on the sidelines and observe and be appreciative that you love me so much that You would battle for me.
