STAND STILL AND SEE THE DELIVERANCE OF THE LORD

Proclamation:
"Moses answered the people, 'Do not be afraid.  Stand firm and you will see the deliverance The Lord will bring you today ... The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.'"  Exodus 14:13-14 (NIV)

Explanation:
In this second book of Moses, after he has led the Israelites our of Egypt, they were now trapped with the Red Sea in front of them, the Pharaoh and his army behind them, and mountains on both sides.  They were afraid that they would be killed there, and Moses told them "Do not be afraid.  Stand firm ... The Lord will fight for you ..."  The Lord parted the Red Sea for them and they crossed over on dry land while He kept Pharaoh’s army away from them.  Then He destroyed the army when they pursued them. (Exodus 14:18 -29)

Application:
As believers, we are children of God.  He will protect us, and fight our battles for us.  We have enemies that only He can protect us from. (Ephesians 6:11)  All we have to do is stand on His Word and do as He says.  Our faith may be tested, but He will never leave us or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5)   It does not matter whatever the problem, believers just need to keep the faith and stand on His Word.  As the song says:
"What do you do,
when you've done all that you can,
and it seems like you can't make it through,
you just stand ...
after you've done all that you can,
you just stand."
