Please read Exodus 14.

Meditate on verses 13a and 14.

…do not fear!  Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD

which He will accomplish for you today…

The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent.

The Israelites boldly left Egypt, but their confidence quickly turned to fear as the Egyptians had a change of heart and chased after them.

Can you relate to the Israelites? Have you ever been delivered by the LORD from a difficult situation? You feel confident, “going out boldly” (v. 8); when suddenly, another attack comes from the enemy, and your con dence quickly dissolves into gut-wrenching fear.

“ The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent” (v. 14). God wants you to let Him fight for you, so He will get the credit and glory for the victory in your life. Notice the response of the professional Egyptian warriors when the Israelites let the LORD do their fighting:

He caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty;

 so the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from Israel,

for the LORD is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”

­­—Exodus 14:25

Pray Exodus 14:13-14 over yourself and others in fearful situations as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, help _________ and me not to fear!

Let us stand by and see the salvation You will accomplish for us today.

LORD, fight for us! Help us to keep silent as we watch You do it.

In Your name, Jesus~”
